History of Communication and the Internet
摘要
In the context of NDE and in particular NDE 4.0, a historical perspective is needed to understand why and how we got here and, in fact, what NDE 4.0 is all about. There are different ways to describe or define NDE 4.0 but the one adopted in this work, that is, that NDE 4.0 is a “Cyber-physical Non-destructive Evaluation System,” is most revealing: that of a system that is driven by and is intimately connected with developments in connectivity and software tools enabled by the digital revolution. And this digital revolution, in the midst of which we conduct our work is that of communication and the Internet.
