Bertil, I have already found the www. Here what one of our best Sf translators says about it:
> In FLOW MY TEARS... di Dick (scritto nel 1970, pubblicato nel '74) > c'e' una netta anticipazione della WWW nella "phone-grid transex > network", che prevede solo l'uso del telefono e non del computer, > ma l'idea di una rete globale e' li', come quella dell'uso del > telefono come grande mezzo per la trasmissione di dati. Per i > telefonini non vanno bene gli aggeggetti di comunicazione di Star > Trek? "In Dick's Flow my Tears, The Policeman Said (written 1970, published 1974) there is a neat prediction of the WWW in the "phone-grid transex network", which is a telephone network, but outlines the idea of a global network, and presents also us with the idea of the use of the telephone grid as a major means of data transmission. For the cellular phones, aren't the Star Trek devices enough?" In fact all the members of the crew of the Enterprise carried a small wrist-watch like communication device which seemed absolutely sfnal then, but is today rahter familiar. Not a vid-phone... (Ahem, vid-phones *are* coming. As soon they finish to cablate the bigger cities in the world they'll be able to give everybody a video-phone, probably via ISDN... so, were they all wrong, huh?) Umberto Rossi Se non sei sul web, hai torto! If you're not on the web, you're wrong!
