Such a machine also will be able, through cybernetic developments, microfilm, taping and video¬ graph, to contain a full picture of all world information, indexed and ready for playing."
He pointed out that such a communications machine "will call for changes in design of playrooms, or communications room, as well as changes in furniture and decorating design."
