The scene in the TV commercial is idyllic. It looks like a remote section of the Pacific Coast. The sun, low in the sky, glints off the misty ocean.
Waves roll gently against the rocks.
A runner moves along easily, obviously enjoying the beauty of the moment. He slows and pulls an electronic device from his jacket pocket. He writes a message on it, faxes it, and receives a response - all right there on the jogging trail. The technology displayed in the ad is awesome. Be that as it may, the information revolution is here.
