ago founded High-Tech Productions,
a privately owned company in Florida which is
one of the leading tape & disk duplication businesses in the
world. High-Tech Productions also distributes blank disks, video tapes, boxes and labels to government
agencies, school systems, fortune 500 companies, the military and police
dept's.

Richard Newman as a Jr. high &
high school student won every school science fair and ultimately
received 1st place in the NY State Science Fair. He also received honors from the
American Institute of
the City of NY and a science award from NASA which has a
piece of micro film attached taken on the Lunar surface by
astronaut Alan Bean.
In the early 70's he was
also a "kiddy" co-host" of a nationally broadcast science show called
"Earth Lab" which was taped at CBS affiliate

sponsored the first of many
Science & Technology Centers. Since then, he has opened
over 20 science centers across the United States, sponsored school

players, multi-media computers, digital telescopes, weather
forecasting systems, butterfly/insect exhibits,

High-Tech Productions never missed a beat
or lost an order. |
High-Tech
Productions conducts Radiation Testing on Video's and DVD's. Because
the U.S. Postal Service is now irradiating mail to counter any
bio-terrorism threats, many companies and individuals have asked what
effects if any this has on video tapes and data disc's/CD's/DVD's. Another concern
was if there would be any residual radiation left on the tapes and/or
packaging after the items were irradiated. High-Tech
Productions in conjunction with Titan Scan Technologies, the company
that irradiates the mail for the Postal Service, teamed up to
conduct numerous tests on analog and digital video tapes as well as
floppy disks , CD's & DVD's. The results were even covered by an NBC
TV affiliate.
