Welcome to Tech_DELTA. Beginning on January 31st and on the 15th and last day of each month thereafter, Tech_DELTA, will be published on the CITASA website. What will you find there? Exactly what the name implies. The American Heritage Dictionary of the English Language (Fourth Edition: 2000) offers the following definitions for the word "delta.
1. The fourth letter of the Greek alphabet.
2. An object shaped like a triangle.
3. A usually triangular alluvial deposit at the mouth of a river, caused by tidal currents.
4. Mathematics. A finite increment in a variable.
The choice of the name builds (more or less) on each aspect of the definition. 1. The Greek alphabet is cool. 2. To find Tech_DELTA on the CITASA home page look for the triangle logo. 3. The deposits at the mouths of rivers and inlets are rich, fertile places, as we hope Tech_DELTA will be. 4. For those of you who know your Greek letters, Delta is not Epsilon, which represents the smallest incremental change (also more). Our emphasis will be on the relatively small but very important, incremental changes that define the ongoing process of communication and information technology change
