Energy crisis
Communications
may be answer
NEW YORK (UPI) - The
business executive of the near
future may be sitting in a room
at his home and conducting his
business by closed circuit
television, using charts and
other sales data that can’t be
transmitted by telephone.
In doing so, he will be saving
the gasoline he would use to
drive to the office.
“We must build our economy
around a communications cen
ter instead of a transportation
system,” Daniel A. McMillan
111, publisher of Electronics
Magazine, said in a recent
interview in his office at the
McGraw-Hill building.
“In energy terms, communi
cations is cheap.”
McMillan said he believes
that energy, rather than infla
tion, is the No. 1 problem
plaguing the United States.
“We are going to have to
come up with a major
investment that will reduce the
cost of energy,” McMillan said.
"A good electronics system can
reduce gas consumption about
35 per cent.”
He said that 65 per cent of
each barrel of oil goes to
gasoline.
“We need more inspection
stations to keep the fuel
burners off the road,” he said.
“Inspections should be made at
least four times a year, not
once. This can be done through
electronics. There is an experi
mental electronics station in
Dusseldorf already in use.”
McMillan noted that a consid
erable amount of gasoline is
wasted by automobiles trapped
in a traffic jam or waiting for
traffic lights to change.
McMillan said he believes the
nation’s manufacturers must
turn to electronics to prevent
the escalation in costs of
products produced under the
present system.
As a recent example, he cited
the case of a bulky, mechani
cally made calculator that was
expensive and often needed
replacement parts. Within three
years, the heavy machine was
made obsolete by electronic
calculators, some of them small
enough to be carried in a
business suit pocket.
He said he believed mechani
cally produced wrist watches
will be replaced by electronic
time pieces.
“About 250 million watches
are made every year in the
free world,” McMillan said. “In
the 1980 s the last nonelectronic
watch will be produced. In my
judgment, major producers of
watches will be the people who
make integrated circuits.”
McMillan said that electron
ics will, in the production of
instruments, fight inflation.
' “As the volume of electronic
products goes up, costs will go
down.”
McMillan said electronics
also can cut the cost of
delivering the mail, saving
energy as well as money.
“There are 32,000 post offices
with 700,000 millions employes
handling 90 billion pieces of
mail,” he said. “About 40 per
cent of a letter carrier’s time
typically is spent in sorting.
With electronics, we will be
able to sort the mail and
eliminate the waste of man
power.”
He said meter reading costs
S4OO million a year and uses
200,000 barrels of oil in
transportation expenses.
“Electronic meter reading
can solve this problem.”
Just as the business man uses
television to conduct his busi
ness, the housewife may also be
able To use the tube to order
groceries, furniture and other
items. And if she does have to
go to the supermarket, shop
ping will be easy.
