Ex: Access is via modified television set, a telephone (and its connections) and a simple keypad.

Ex: An information system architecture defines a structure for describing communications connectivity between users of information and sources of information.

Ex: The most serious problem for librarians in their dealings with media materials is the massive multiplication of formats, making it difficult for librarians to decide what to buy in what format.

Ex: One trend for the future is likely to be the development of hosts which are designed for interaction with the end user.
