"The Postmaster General said that within the next 30 years nearly every householder will be linked to a local and national communication network which will enable them to do the following things: control his central heating while away from the house by commanding over the telephone; watch children, etc., with the aid of a TV "eye" while out shopping or at a party; shop without moving out of the house with the aid of a computer; pay for commodities throughout a computer link; receive confirmations and news by teleprinter; consult the local library for information through a picture phone. In fact, new soft transportation technology will give a hitherto unknown degree of freedom."
