Communications:
"Voice to ear communications between all peoples anywhere around the world is approximately 186,000 miles per second. In terms of mores, language, politics they are as yet months, years and generations apart. In terms of human needs and longing for understanding they are as one.
“In the swiftly accelerating range and frequency of world peoples’ comings and goings, the inherent barriers of mores, politics and language will swiftly dwindle out and disappear. All of the pattern of world affairs will become visible to all its people. Ambitions of individuals or of minorities to seize dominance of the Airocean World are inherently ‘spot news.’ Democratic mastery of the whole pattern is inherent and inevitable. The intellectual and technological integration accelerates the constant trend to serve more needs of more people with higher standards with ever more efficient investment of overall resources per given function.”
