And if you're into watching long videos of what the digital future was supposed to look like, Douglas Adams and Tom Baker made a documentary called Hyperland, and you can watch all 50 minutes of it here: http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=7190175107515525470# or if you want a shorter video, here's Ted Nelson with a short demo of Xanadu as it existed in 2008: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=En_2T7KH6RA
