presented by Jeff Fitzmaurice 

Everything we have these days is based on dreams and ideas from the distant past. We think cell phones are a recent concept. We think television is a 20th century idea. The truth is, ideas surrounding wireless communications are centuries ahead of their time. The old saying "There is nothing new under the Sun" rings true here.

Imagine a world without computers, cell phones, telephones, television, cable, fiber optics, and even CB Radios. Imagine a world of smoke signals, flag waving and messengers who can run really fast. Imagine a world without technology as we know it. We can't.

Great ideas were first imagined, written down, and then later converted into reality. What we have today is the fruit of someone's imagination.

Keep dreaming, keep creating, and by all means, pass all these ideas down to the next generation. Who knows. Your ideas might get us to new worlds.
