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."
