“Fiction is more than non-fiction in some ways.
You can stretch people’s minds, alerting them to the possibilities of the future, which is very important in an age where things are changing rapidly.”
Arthur C. Clarke
1959
A personal transceiver, so small and compact that every man carries one.
The time will come when we will be able to call a person anywhere on Earth merely by dialing a number. Such a device would also, include means for global positioning so that "no one need ever again be lost.”
