"Imagine a classroom with a window on all the world's knowledge...a student with the power to visit any place on earth at any time in history. Imagine a screen that can display in vivid color the inner workings of a cell, the births and deaths of stars, the clashed of aries, and the triumphs of art. And then imagine that you have access to all of this and more by exerting little more effort than simply asking that it appear."

If anything it undersells the reality of what we have today, since it misses so many new communication and learning technologies that we couldn't even imagine back then.
