...Jumbotrons of the 10th century. "Times Square is the place of now and the place of the future," says Venturi. "An environment that is sparkling, decorative and information-giving." They predict that such public buildings as schools and courthouses will increasingly borrow the features of commercial buildings, like neon signage and shop-window fronts...
Next we see the Degeneration-Xers, dressed in neon gereen adn black, successfully destroy and humiliate all their adversaries. They are cocky, obnoxious, and beloved by all. To them, pinning someone is not as important as hurting them, and their victory dance is a spectacle that every man should behold: with a chesty snort, they raise their arms and thrust them downward, forming an X over their groin.

"It's uncharted waters," said NBA spokesman Brian McIntyre about the potential for conflicts. "We'll have to figure how to deal with...
...News. On New Year's Eve in Times Square, his heir Dan Rather might have closed, "And that's the way it appears to be, thanks to the magic of computer imaging." But he didn't. Nor did CBS say it had digitally inserted a virtual logo in the neon adscape behind him, obliterating an existing sign for NBC. In fact, it turns out CBS has used digital image-insertion technology ever since launching the Early Show in November, to plaster that program's logo all over its Manhattan neighborhood--at the entrance to Central Park, on the back...
