Electricity is information. Electrical power lines are linking city with city, country with country, continent with continent in ever more powerful systems. And satellite, computers, radio, television, fiber optics, data transmission links are multiplying in ever more complex and powerful systems of information, of knowledge and delight. A linkage that is a kind of extension of the human body and the human brain. Operating rules for small spaceships.
Electricity is a basic glue which holds atoms, our bodies and our worlds together.
As we learn to apply and to control this glue, we will better learn to know and to do many new things. Electricity seems to be at present the most effective and most versatile way to transport both energy and information around the spaceship earth and out into space and back. It is rapidly making the world into a global village. We had best get acquainted with our neighbors. Better now than tomorrow.
