Laser channels will vastly increase both data capacity and the +speeds with which it will be transmitted. Eventually, a global +communications network handling voice, data and facsimile will +instantly link man to machine--or machine to machine--by land, air, +underwater, and space circuits. [The computer] will affect man's +ways of thinking, his means of education, his relationship to his physical +and social environment, and it will alter his ways of living... +[Before the end of this century, these forces] will coalesce into what +unquestionably will become the greatest adventure of the human mind." + +- from David Sarnoff by Eugene Lyons, 1966. |
