SummaryDiscussing the wider consequences of computerization, the author echoed ideas popularized by futurist Alvin Toffler in The Third Wave, suggesting that telecommunications-based work could ease urban decay, congestion, pollution, energy strain, and overpopulation. Since this is only a very loose paraphrase, the formulation is attributed here to journalist Gregg Peele rather than to Toffler himself
