“The future is now! Soon every American home will integrate their television, phone and computer.
You'll be able to visit the Louvre on one channel, or watch female wrestling on another. You can do your
shopping at home, or play Mortal Kombat with a friend from Vietnam. There's no end to the possibilities!”
