This is a Computer

I brought along my son Jonathan, who in the year 2001, will be the same age I am now
Maybe he will be better adjusted to this world you're trying to portray

The big difference when he grows up, in fact he will be in the year 2001 and he will have in his own house
Not a computer as big as this, but at least a console through which he can talk to his friendly local computer
And get all the information he needs in his day to day life

His bank statements, his theater reservations
All of the information that you need living in the course of a complex modern society
This will be in a compact form in his own house
He will have a television screen like this here and the keyboard and he'll talk to the computer be able to get information from it
And he'll take it for granted as much as we do the telephone

I wonder though what sort of life would it be in like of social terms
I mean, if our whole life is built around a computer
Do we become a computer dependent society and computer dependent individuals

I wonder though what sort of life would it be if our whole life is built around a computer
Computer dependent individuals
Do we become a computer dependent society?
Our whole life is built around a computer
Do we become a computer dependent society?
If our whole life is built around a computer
Our whole life is built around a computer
Built around a computer

In some ways but they'll also enrich our society because

Our whole life is built around a computer
Built around a computer
Built around a computer
Built around a computer
Built around a computer
Built around a computer
Built around a computer

In some ways but they'll also enrich our societies because
Because
Because
Because
Because
Because
Because

It will make it possible for us to live anywhere we like
Any businessman or executive could live almost anywhere on Earth
And still do his business through a device like this

And this will be a wonderful thing because it means we won't have to be stuck in cities
And live out in the country or wherever we please
And Still carry on complete interactions with other human beings as well as other computers
