Over Heard Conversations Archive Special:

Late 1970's

Eric: So what I was thinking was that people would be able to talk to each other across an invisible network as though they were right in each others room.

Paul: So it's like a telephone sex line then?

Eric: No. it's more of a technical advancement of technology but it can be used by the masses.

Paul: So it's for churches?

Eric: No I meant the general public.

Paul: I see

Eric: You will be able to play games with your friends in different countries.

Paul: What like hopscotch?

Eric: No I mean dual gaming systems that can be played with anyone anywhere.

Paul: Oh I see.

Eric: And people will be able to correspond with each other using electronic mailing systems.

Paul: Save on postage stamps then?

Eric: Yes and you can find information on anything in the world at a press of a button.

Paul: What about pictures then?

Eric: Yes that too. we will be able to download pictures and send then to friends.

Paul: I get it so it's basically an excuse for swapping porn with your mates then?

Eric: got it in one.
