“... the arrival of any new technology that has significant power and practical potential always brings with it a wave of visionary enthusiasm that anticipates the rise of a utopian social order. ... From the coming of the {{w|steam locomotive}}, to the introduction of the telegraph, {{w|telephone}}, motion pictures, centrally generated electrical power, automobile, radio, television, nuclear power, {{w|guided missile}}, and the computer (to name just a few), this has been the recurring theme: celebrate! The moment of redemption is at hand.”
