1895: Repertoire Bibliographique Universel• Paul Otlet & Henri La Fontaine
• “Everything in the universe, and everything of man, would be registered at a distance as it was produced. In this way a moving image of the world will be established, a true mirror of his memory. From a distance, everyone will be able to read text, enlarged and limited to the desired subject, projected on an individual screen. In this way, everyone from his armchair will be able to contemplate creation, as a whole or in certain of its parts.”

1982: Cyberspace
“A consensual hallucination experienced daily by billions of legitimate operators, in every nation, by children being taught mathematical concepts...

Lines of light ranged in the nonspace of the mind, clusters and constellations of data. “
William Gibson
