Reminds me of what Joseph Licklider predicted.
Years before the internet he already predicted e-commerce, and he also said (partly tounge in cheek) that small items could be instantly delivered in a network of plastic tubes. Well, he wasn't always right, but he was a lot closer than most people were.
Very influential in PC evolution.

cranioscopical:
Heliographs
Semaphore
Mores code
Used all of 'em to talk to and fro' when I was a kid.
[edit] I thought I'd typed "Morse".
Now I think of it, mores code seems also to be of the past. :)
