"Another reason why privacy could be just a passing fad, terrorism is going to get too good. [1997]"

| Spectrumoscope | ||
| Provides sight directly to the brain-cells of the sightless. |
| From the Deaf Section, in which those, who were so unfortunate as to be deprived of hearing, were seated, the cut-in waves of sound, from the Arboreal Hearograph, a peculiar sponge-like contrivance, that hung, suspended, overhead, rendered each one's affliction neutral. For the blind, let me add that there was a reserved, though costly, Solarium, into which poured the beneficent rays of a Spectrumoscope. located on the ceiling, and penetrated the brain-cells of each living person seated therein. This reproduced on the extinct retina images of light, that gave them intelligent reading of the Show. Thank God for these inventions . . . Deafness and Blindness removed from Man, who had evoluted high enough in the process of the things of the Cosmos to receive direct messages from his Creator. |
