Visions
Gaze into your monitor; focus beyond the orderly rows of pixels, past the circuitry, farther even than the orbiting communications satellites. If you look far enough, can you see data-quasars and info-nebulae? Looking out into cyberspace, what do you see?

In the coming weeks we'll be accumulating the answers we're receiving to this tantalizing question here. Below, follow links to Visionaries we didn't invite to tell us what they see in cyberspace. We couldn't find their e-mail addresses.

I See Words
In This Edition of Visions
Biblia latina
       In this edition, Frances Sherwood, Professor of English, and writer sees: "People who would not think of writing letters correspond by e-mail. Kids are reading games, instructions, doing school work, learning new things on computers at home, in schools and libraries. People who shun books, but like gadgets, are using the computer like mad, and in fact will soon be reading books on hand held computers. To me, it is a very democratic movement, something that reaches everybody, and a real triumph of the word.…"
