From the Paper:

"Now imagine this device hooked up not only to what we now call the telephone system but to the Internet as well. Now you can order a cyber-pizza or visit the virtual White House while strolling around the golf course. This technology is almost here now. When PDAs are available and cheap, and long distance phone service is cheap, they will replace many of the devices that we have today, combining them into one unit.7 New product innovations must move in the direction of more compact, multiple function, and better ability to interconnect with a variety of other devices and operating systems. New product innovations will move in the direction of greater connectivity with the world, any place, any time."
