While advances in information technology (IT) change our lives, drive our economy and transform the conduct of science, it takes 15-20 years for research in IT to be transformed into industrial production. In a few decades, we will depend upon research begun tomorrow or next year to provide the transforming ideas for the future. When this is coupled with the declining enrollments in computing programs, the problem becomes starkly drawn. This series of vignettes will highlight different problems for which IT research can help offer solutions. The problems range from enabling a general improvement in life across the planet, to the design of a new Internet. Approximately a dozen vignettes will be illustrated with high impact graphics. The vignettes will provide examples of possible transformations that are accessible to the non-specialist. Additional links will also be provided, if the reader chooses to gain a deeper understanding. One anticipated result is the generation of more interest in computing science as a discipline in colleges and universities, as well as enhanced public understanding of the role of research in developing new ideas and a strong economy.

虽然信息技术 (IT) 的进步改变了我们的生活、推动了我们的经济并改变了科学行为，但 IT 研究转化为工业生产需要 15 至 20 年的时间。 几十年后，我们将依靠明天或明年开始的研究来为未来提供变革性的想法。 当这与计算机专业入学人数的下降相结合时，问题就变得更加明显了。 这一系列的小插曲将重点介绍 IT 研究可以帮助提供解决方案的不同问题。 问题范围从实现全球生活的普遍改善到新互联网的设计。 大约十几个小插图将用高冲击力的图形进行说明。 这些小插图将提供非专业人士也可以理解的可能转变的示例。如果读者选择获得更深入的了解，还将提供其他链接。一个预期的结果是，大学和学院对计算机科学作为一门学科产生了更多的兴趣，并增强了公众对研究在发展新思想和强大经济方面的作用的理解。
