Dr.Timothy Leary interviewed in 1990. Inspirational.

How many realities are you processing every day? Compared to any time in history, our brain is exposed to more stories in an hour than in a year 50 years ago.

His statements are broad enough to have imagined today's world in this 1989 interview.  I read it to imagine roads less travelled.

Dr. Leary: Okay. Listen: Consider the feudal person, unaware that he lived on a planet loaded with natural resources like fossil fuels, which could power machines which would create more complex machines and produce chemical-electrical energy. Telephone, telegraph, teletype, cars, jet planes … Today, at the end of the industrial age, at the dawning of the cybernetic age, most digital engineers and most managers of the computer industry are not aware that we live in a cyber-culture surrounded by limitless deposits of information which can be digitized and tapped by the individual equipped with cybergear.
