when addressing the readers Of
1854. If this is to be studied
like ancient heiroglyphs. there
ought to be some reward for the
man who struggles through and
comes UP with the translation.
Fittingly. of course, this should
be the place to tell the readers
of 1854 how television was in
1854. They wouldn't believe a
word of it. though.
AS we see it there are two dis
tinct possibilities for 1854. If it
is post-atomic war world, man
will be just getting up off the
deck. coming out of the caves,
discovering fire and inventing
the wheel. He will not be in
a receptive mood for any wild
tales about a miraculous device
which brought pictures Of cur
rent events. mammoth enter
tainments and more mammoth
advertisements into the homes
in 1854.
Then there is the other pos
sibility, a more remote one to
be sure. that peace and progress
will prevail. Everybody will be
wired for television in 1854. just
as NBC President Pat Weaver
foresees. Milton Berle (NBC
will continue to take up his OPP
tions) will be selling hydromatic
rocket ships with super atomic
engines and all-electronic steer
ing. Uranus will have replaced
Cucamonga in the routine Of
the comic who inherits Bob
Hopes joke books.
4
This 30th Century man is sure
to raise a skeptical eyebrow when
you tell him about television in
1854. Do you think he'll believe
it when told that 1854 1V offers
Maurice Evans in Shakespeare
once or twice year and 12-hour
whodunits once or twice every
half-hour?
Or. suppose we tell 1854 that
this was written the same week
singer named Julius La Rosa
opened at night club called the
Casino Royal, which was mum
dated with reservations. He was
not, you should know in 1854,
the greatest singer of 1854, but
he got publicly fired on a broad
cast and became an immediate
hero.
1t probably doesn't matter that
nobody would believe that. We
have a feeling this will never
reach posterity anyhow We just
did some figuring and discovered
that, at the present birth rate,
our descendants will number
17,348,9 in Is more genera
tons. If their parents are living
