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."--from David Sarnoff by
Eugene Lyons, 1966.
