3. Technology as Passport
There will be a day, not far distant, when you will be able to conduct
business, study, explore the world and its cultures, call up any great
entertainment, make friends, attend neighborhood markets, and show pictures to
distant relatives- without leaving your armchair. It will be more than an object
that you carry or an appliance that you purchase. It will be your passport into a
new mediated way of life. Bill Gates 1995
