1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:04,120
...cable bringing
40 options into your home.

2
00:00:04,280 --> 00:00:07,320
I believe
that it's the revolution of the future.

3
00:00:09,520 --> 00:00:11,800
How can we use it?

4
00:00:11,960 --> 00:00:16,120
By offering individuals

5
00:00:16,280 --> 00:00:18,960
the possibility of choosing themselves

6
00:00:19,120 --> 00:00:21,800
the images and sounds
they wish to receive,

7
00:00:21,960 --> 00:00:23,920
not only for entertainment

8
00:00:24,080 --> 00:00:26,440
or education,

9
00:00:26,600 --> 00:00:29,360
but also for all practical
activities in life.

10
00:00:32,320 --> 00:00:34,320
THE POSSIBILITIES

11
00:00:36,640 --> 00:00:37,440
<i>Already,</i>

12
00:00:38,120 --> 00:00:39,600
<i>television can bring</i>

13
00:00:39,880 --> 00:00:41,640
<i>programmed learning home.</i>

14
00:00:46,120 --> 00:00:49,720
<i>Tomorrow,</i>
<i>on a screen of limitless size,</i>

15
00:00:49,880 --> 00:00:52,320
<i>it will let us select</i>
<i>our own programs.</i>

16
00:00:55,080 --> 00:00:56,440
<i>Even home alone,</i>

17
00:00:56,600 --> 00:00:59,880
<i>we'll be able to choose</i>
<i>board games over puzzles</i>

18
00:01:00,160 --> 00:01:03,680
<i>and play with either a remote friend</i>
<i>or a computer.</i>

19
00:01:06,320 --> 00:01:09,680
<i>Television will be</i>
<i>the great mail-order catalog.</i>

20
00:01:10,240 --> 00:01:13,240
<i>Better yet,</i>
<i>just pressing a button,</i>

21
00:01:13,480 --> 00:01:17,520
<i>will convey the customer's choice</i>
<i>and send the order.</i>

22
00:01:17,920 --> 00:01:20,400
<i>Newspapers, letters,</i>
<i>telegrams, fines</i>

23
00:01:20,560 --> 00:01:22,760
<i>will appear without delay.</i>

24
00:01:24,640 --> 00:01:28,040
<i>It will be possible</i>
<i>to replicate texts on paper at will,</i>

25
00:01:28,200 --> 00:01:30,440
<i>to be read and archived.</i>

26
00:01:51,080 --> 00:01:54,960
One may wonder whether
the word "television" really matches

27
00:01:55,120 --> 00:01:57,840
this extraordinary,
new, free circulation

28
00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:00,440
of images and sounds
that we can foresee.

29
00:02:00,600 --> 00:02:03,200
For us, "television" is linked

30
00:02:03,360 --> 00:02:06,400
to the notion of broadcasting,

31
00:02:06,560 --> 00:02:08,280
a transmission on air waves.

32
00:02:08,440 --> 00:02:11,760
Moreover, "television"
implies some kind of passivity.

33
00:02:11,920 --> 00:02:16,320
On the contrary, everything we can see
coming via this cable,

34
00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:19,440
implies the active participation
of each of us.

35
00:02:19,600 --> 00:02:22,000
Basically, we can't find the right word.

36
00:02:22,160 --> 00:02:24,800
Audiovisual, audiovisual equipment?
No.

37
00:02:24,960 --> 00:02:28,280
I'm waiting for linguists
to find a word.

38
00:02:28,440 --> 00:02:31,680
In my opinion, this new word
will define very well

39
00:02:31,840 --> 00:02:34,880
the great possibilities
of travelling images and sounds.
