==Lyrics==
Now Mom and Dad and Junior can own
A new-fangled smart telephone
It’s amazing all the things it can do
As it brings the world closer to you
You can sit right there in your easy chair and check the stock report
On a screen at home make plans to roam to your favorite ski resort
It’ll bring the world closer to you
There’s a wonderful change comin’
A beautiful day dawnin’
A miracle we’re seein’ come true
‘Cause the age of information
Is sweepin’ across the nation
And bringin’ the world closer to you
It’ll call the cops on a robber
It’ll help the kids with their homework
It’ll hook your home to your office
Send your heartbeat clear ‘cross town
It’ll give you all kinds of freedom
Like when you wanna go shopping
It’ll bring the store to your front door
It’s the handiest thing around
And it brings the world closer to you
And it’s makin’ the world better
It’s makin’ the world smaller
It’s giving the world something brand new
‘Cause the age of information
Is sweepin’ across the nation
And bringin’ the world closer to you
Now the miracles have only begun
In the places where our business gets done
The office of tomorrow will be
The very model of efficiency
If you want data, you’ll get that data
And only the data you need
And the words are movin’
And the mail is movin’
With electronic speed
You will talk to two or quite a few
On a teleconference call
And the chips are sorting
And the data’s moving
On a thread of glass so small
As it brings the world closer to you
Your phone will be a computer
It’ll make your bank deposits
It’ll mail your voice like a letter
Where it can wait ‘till a later date to communicate
So we’re makin’ the world better
We’re makin’ the world smaller
We’re bringin’ the world something brand new
‘Cause the age of information
Is sweepin’ across the nation
And bringin’ the world closer to you
And your voice is travellin’
And your words are movin’
And the wires are hummin’ a song
And the world is changin’
And the country’s changin’
So won’t you come along?
On this wonderous journey to the information age
There’s a wonderful change comin’
A beautiful day dawnin’
A miracle we’re seein’ come true
‘Cause the age of information
Is sweepin’ across the nation
And bringin’ the world closer to you
Closer to you, closer to you
Bringin’ the world closer to you
