Speaker's address
promise of electricity
By DAVID DUCHARME
Electricity—"the flow of elec-
trons within a conductor". How
very little that definition means
to the majority of us, simplified
though it .is.
We think of electricity as a
*witch or a button, or perhaps
a lever, with myriads of odd
Little wires leading to it. These
wires constitute, of course, the
"conductor" but the "electrons"
are just another word we may
have heard and we are not in-
clined to be concerned about its
meaning.
However, the seemingly ,indis-
pensable conveniences which
these electrons and their con-
ductor have made possible in
the form of that mysteriously
omnipotent force known as elec-
tricity is one of our major con-
cerns. In the past it has been
our path to progress—domestic,
industrial, locomotive, and com-
municative.
Now the path has broadened
as electricity, or rather a spe-
cial branch •of it known as elec-
tronics, becomes a veritable
"highway to progress". By defi-
nition, electronics is the flow of
electrons through space; in other
Words it is essentially electricity
without a conductor. Just as its
older, yet still youthful brother,
electricity, .has given us count-
less marvels in the past, so too
does electronics promise even
greater marvels for the future.
Scientists dislike predicting
what new developments their
studies of electronics may re-
veal; if they forecast at all it is
along the line of present trends.
Yet they cannot refrain from ad-
mitting that this generation and ,
certainly the next, can look for-
ward to unprecedented electronic
wonders in the realm of trans-
portation, industry, domestic
life, communications, and ulti-
mately, in relation to each of
these fields, the harnessing of
solar energy to produc, electri-
cal power for the benefit of man-
kind.
Thus with an eye to the future
many people ask "what does
electricity promise?"
Improvement in transport
Great strides are imminent in
the field of transportation and
to exemplify how electrical en-
c ergy and electronic guidance can
be utilized to propel an vehicle.
The day is forseeable when
your car may follow a "flare
path" of electrical beams trans-
mitted by an electronic device
!embedded in the 'surface of the
highway. Moreover by the ad-
aption of a radar mechanism
the automobile could be moti-
vated without any human guid-
ance thereby removing all the
risks of modern driving.
On the other hand, for those
more adventuresome souls who
prefer to do their own steering,
electronics engineers may soon
have a central station, in a city
such as Toronto, which will
transmit electronic beams to be
received by an antenna, much
resembling the radio aerial on
your present car. Now that the
electrons have lept through space
to your receiver, they will be
conducted by the antenna to the
electric motor which propels the
!electric
just as the internal
combustion engine does today.
But we must also consider a
third brand of citizen who leaves
the comfort of his home only
when necessary, and then re-
luctantly. Electronics will assist
him as well for by radar device
he will one day be able to take
his wife shopping without leav-
ing his armchair.
Advances in industry
Thus we have improved trans-
portation. Now we must proceed
to the next area destined to ben-
efit from this transportation,
and from its own future uses of
electrical developments. Natural-
ly, I refer to industry, the life-
blood of a nation, and being
such it must be examined in re-
gard to its electronic future.
Computers o r "electronic
brains" have already been uti-
lized to some extent for indust-
rial purposes but as they are

simplified their usefulness will
broaden. Allied with these is
automation, which is rapidly in-
creasing in its employment, and
as an electronic industrial won-
der it is indeed marvelous.
Coupled with automation are
those odd-looking inventions call-
ed robots which no longer exist
solely in science -fiction but which
can actually be manufactured
for countless purposes.
From factory to home
"Out of the factory and into
the home" is the path followed
by many of our manufactured
products and so too must the
developments of our electronic
future.
Even now many supermarkets
have "thinking doors" which
open when approached. These
devices, controlled by photo -cell
lamps, could feasibly be in-
stalled in any modern home.
Such doors would eventually
lead into a living room, beauti-
fully illuminated without any ap-
parent source of light. This will
occur because lighting engineers
are perfecting a system of elec-
tronic lighting by which whole
walls may be illuminated, and
to your own taste as brightness
and colour controlare being
probed.
Also unique in this living room
will be the absence of any source
of heat. This too is made pos-
sible by electronics as the ceil-
ing of the room will consist of
one huge radiant heat panel,
thereby making furnaces and
fireplaces obsolete.
TV baby sitters
Coupled hand in hand with
transportation, and providing the
connecting link between home
and industry, is the field of com-
munications. This area of elec-
tronic research has progressed
by leaps and bounds in the past
and will continue to do so In the
future.
Typifying past progress we
have colour television, soon b
become a mass reality. The
most recent innovation in this
invention is a flat screen TV
which hangs on the wall like a
picture. Related to this is a
monitor TV set which will one
day enable you to supervise your
children in the nursery while
you lounge in another, quieter
part of the house.
Diverting from sight to sound.
we have all enjoyed the benefit
of those tiny, transistor -powered,
portable radios during the World
Merica, klowever ti'e use of those
minute .electronic marvels called
transistors, will be even more
beneficial when applied to conn.
pact sound -recording and .micro-
filming equipment which will en•
able the space -saving central
storage of permanent records
for reference to by doctors, law-
yers, scientists and many other
specialists.
Need to tap suns energy
Thus it can be seen that
through the adaptability of elec-
trons leaping through space or
following a conductor many
fields of human endeavor are
destined to progress with amaz-
ing celerity in this generation
and the next. However these ad-
vances will indeed tax our electri-
cal potential; therefore we must
find and we must develop a new
source of power if we are to
continue to advance.
Science has found it—in solar
energy, i.e. tapping the .immense
energy reserves of the sun and
changing them into electrical
power. This has been accom-
plished by means of solar bat-
teries which ensnare the latent
energy in the sun's rays and
convert it into electrical energy.
However it has not been done
on a large enough scale to pro-
vide sufficient electrical power
for industry.
When this dream is realized
barren yet sunny areas such as
the Sahara Desert will become
immense industrial centres for
they will be virtual electrical
power houses. For this reason
it is my opinion that this field
of obtaining electrical sources by
harnessing the sun's energy is
one which foreshadows superla-
tive progress in the immediate
future.
Hence withthis culminating
idea of solar power, those among
us who are possessed of a more
active imagination can foresee
even greater wonders than I
have outlined here. It is obvious
that electricity and electronics
are our highways of progress. It
is unquestionable that they will
continue to be our highways to
progress but to a far greater
and far broader extent than we
are now able to realize or comp-
rehend. This for you, and for me,
is the promise of electricity.
