...exist in this country without incredible economic and political implications. If every television set could communicate with every other television set in this country, telephones would become obsolete. Videocassettes alone will cripple Hollywood even more than it is crippled now.

And on a personal level, total access to communication systems like this would enable each person to have more control over his life...

"There are also enough people so that someone will ask a question for which you have the answer...
Submerged Society. The teeming streets of London helped lend shape to Dickens' lifelong, horrified fascination with the submerged of Victorian society-the poor, the grotesque, especially the criminal. A long line of murderers stalk through Dickens' novels, from Bill Sikes in Oliver Twist to John Jasper in Edwin Drood. Among other things, they embody his belief in an irredeemable evil in human nature-a belief that tends to be forgotten because of the hilarity Dickens spread through even his darkest passages...
