and data communications, including Internet access. In addition, multiple computers can share data,
software and a central printer, and video cameras can be added to create a closed-circuit home
security system.
Plans also call for the in-home electronic network to be linked to the Irvine Unified School District

children will be able to access their school's computer directly from their home, obtaining reference
materials from the library, homework assignments and general school information.
