+David Sarnoff, 1964: "The computer will become the hub of a vast network of
+remote data stations and information banks feeding into the machine at
+a transmission rate of a billion or more bits of information a
+second. 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."
