Before I start, I want to introduce some members of the terrific FCC staff who are here today. I know that all of you know Roy Stewart, Chief of the Mass Media Bureau. We all owe Roy a tremendous debt of gratitude for his lifetime of service to the public in working with the broadcast industry. And many of you know Susan Fox, who was my Senior Legal Advisor and who is now the new Deputy Chief of the Mass Media Bureau. I also want to be sure to introduce you to my new Senior Legal Advisor, Tom Power.
Most people remember Space Mountain because the whole ride was in the dark.
As you came off the ride and stepped onto the Speedramp, you were treated to a look into the home of the future. You were shown the father having a business meeting through a monitor he held on his lap. In the nursery was a little camera that broadcast to other parts of the house so everyone could keep an eye on the baby. In one room, a kid took an interactive pottery lesson and in another, the mother ordered dishes through an onscreen catalog system. Needless to say, by the 1980s, this part of the ride was updated significantly.
