Very well done and - as JF said - indeed frightening.

2014 ???? I thought we were already nearly there Indeed frightening,
however one brightsight: the costs of ePaper turning below 'normal' paper is
so good for the enviroment. I hope that all devices still will have a 'Power
down' button (makes you wonder if Bill had his glimpse of this future too
and that made him decide to caption this button 'Start'). Wasn't it Ray
Bradburry's scifi novel -written in the sixties?- Fahrrenheit 451 that
warned us for a society where reading anything else then the -personalized-
information (such as novels) had to be punished. That's my fear: they call
it personal info, but shouldn't you yourself be the gatherer and judge of
that?

Well... my thoughts.

Regards,
Harry

why frightening? There's sooooo much more going on in the world that concerns
me much much much more

....well... there are indeed lots of things going on, agreed. For this
matter: as long as information comes to us in a way that we ourselve can
analyse it and can create our own opinion based on pro's and con's it
should be allright.

Actually you got that backwards. F451 warned us of a society where
personalized accounts and fiction were detrimental to society, 1984 written
before Ray's work warned us of a time when language itself was the enemy and
thus the dictionary of newSpeak was invented so as to introduce as much
ambiguity and as little truth as possible into what we read and thus
thought. Thoreau, ( I probably spelled that wrong! <g> ), said there is NO
history...only biography! and though I tend to agree with the truth of this
statement, the loss of the 4th estate will indeed make it a practical
reality!
Mankind's ONLY saving lies within his ability to imagine. The "Doctrine
of Imagination" says that the future...that any possible futures...rely upon
man's ability to imagine them. History, if it can still be believed, proves
this to be true, for mankind has only gone where he has imagined it will.
Mankind has only invented and discovered what he has imagined he will or
that he imagines to be true. We are both the creators of and the product of
our imagined reality. Anything else brought into the equation is
miss-interpretation of cause and effect.
