...Junk food is gone," Holland envisages. "Things are more powdered, condensed and broken down here and added to stuff. I think we'll all be vegetarians...Something will happen to the animals, pets and animals are going to be such a rare thing...
What it boils down to is this. Netizens are sick of the World Wide Wait. We know the Internet isn't living up to its potential. Most of us would junk our 56K modems in a Palo Alto minute for a viable, affordable high-speed link to our home. But which pipe will we choose? Cable? Telephone? Wireless? Satellite?

But the junk dealer Watto is a little masterpiece of design: cinnamon stubble on his corrugated face, chipped rocks for teeth, the raspy voice of Brando's Godfather speaking Turkish, hummingbird wings that give him the aspect of a potbellied helicopter. He, Jar Jar and the other computer-generated critters are seamlessly integrated into live action...
