       Dr. Moira Gunn talks with Dr. Sheldon Kamieniecki, Director of
       Environmental Studies at the University of southern California. They
       discuss the effects of the Clean Air Act on California's environment,
       and look closely at the state of technology for electric vehicles --
       who is working on them, what the cost will be, and how the consumer
       will be affected. They also discuss how international environmental
       policies may be needed to clean up environmentally degraded areas.
       
       Dr. Gunn also speaks with Elizabeth MacGrath and Nick Bissony, who are
       using the new Virtual World virtual reality entertainment centers to
       build team spirit among the employees of a company. They discuss their
       experience with the pilot project at AT&T, as well as how the
       technology helps teams analyze their performance and make
       improvements.
