Because of its data storage capacity, smart cards provide a host of new possibilities for information storage and transmission not available through other technologies. The portability of the device makes it possible for individuals to carry large amounts of important data, such as their entire medical history, in their wallet. This data can easily be accessed through a small PC peripheral or a dedicated, palm-sized reader. The card can then provide access to information in situations where on-line access to the same data might be impossible.  8, record 1, English, - smart%20card

What you need in order to access on-line music distribution services : To get to the Internet Underground Music Archive(IUMA) RockNet, Kaleidospace and metaverse. com, you’ll be best off with full Internet access, and a sound card that gives your computer audio-capability, unless you own a Macintosh, which already has sound capacity built in. If you have full Internet access, connect to the World Wide Web(WWW). The quickest way to each service is to use your favorite WWW browser. With the more-powerful Mosaic browser, you can listen to the music on-line, but you need a very powerful computer. Point you browser at the following Universal Resource Locators(URL) : IUMA, RockNet, Kaleisdospace, metaverse. com. The home page of each site usually has a how-to guide. If your system doesn’t allow WWW access, but lets you use gopher(like Concordia University's Pavo system), go to your main command prompt, and type in gopher URI. for site. Once at the site, you will have to download the sound files to your Internet system, or directly to your PC(assuming you use a terminal server.)  1, record 11, English, - on%2Dline%20music
