...networks of the future will become increasingly populated with new kinds of software entities known as personal assistants, or "agents." These agents will monitor the outside world, gleaning pertinent information, filtering out unwanted clutter, tracking appointments and offering advice. A travel "agent," for example, would be indispensable to a foreign traveler by doing simultaneous translations or pointing out sites of interest. A virtual lawyer could give expert legal opinions, a Wall Street agent timely investment tips...
Such a development, however, would bring its own answer from the obstructionists.

Good story. Funny, as King told it. He loves yarns and tells them all the time. Like the one about being made eraser monitor or the one about how Jackie Gleason helped him make a name for himself on Miami TV. His stories almost always feature some big-name celebrity. King's apartment walls are crammed with pictures of himself and famous stars. There's a framed letter from Sinatra that reads, "You're a good friend and -- unlike many others -- were not there to trap or ensnare me or to sensationalize in any way." There are pictures of Ronald...
