GM,Mark,
An interesting interview about communications, bandwidth, the future, dreams vs. practicality, and a good starting point for a weekend's reading.

<<"Our reason for existence is to help people understand that it is a useful exercise to think systematically about the future, even in environments where there's very, very high uncertainty," says Saffo, who concentrates on the long-term social and commercial impacts of new information technologies>>

<<And it's not just the industries. Our devices are also going through fundamental transformation. The thing on our desk that we call a PC is completely different than PCs ten years ago. And it's different in how we use it. Ten years ago, the devices were defined by what they processed for us; now they're defined by what they connect us to.>>
