I'm browsing UseNet for documentaries and came accross an old one. Here is the listed description:
CBC - The Nature Of Things
Highway To Cyberia (1994)
| Quote : | | "This program examines the near future of computers, focusing on technologies that may make it possible to shop and bank at home, watch movies on demand, and experience virtual reality. The program balances this vision of the future with questions about information overload, increasing user isolation, and coping with the speed of change." |
One more, this one from 1991:
| Quote : | "In 1936 Toronto and its suburbs had just 700,000 people. Today they make up a sprawling metropolis that includes several million. We're all familiar with this kind of explosive growth that's both a source of civic pride and the driving engine of our economy. There are enormous costs associated with such growth. In a huge country like Canada we're not aware of the rising human
tide that threatens to drown the planet. " |
