dating back 1.5 to 2 million years, homo sapiens (wise human beings).and homo sapiens sapiens, our own species, whose earliest discoveredremains have been dated to 35,000 years ago.

b. Early "brains," of course, were very simple nervous systems.

c. No one knows for certain when understandable speech developed.But the latest brain research has identified the parts of our brain thatdeal with speech, thought and reasoning: all are in our forebrainswhich are most fully developed in homo sapiens sapiens.

d. The earliest alphabet emerged about 1700 B.C., but the more modernGreek version was not introduced into Europe until around 1000 B.C .

Your child's video gamehas 10,000 times the capacity of the world's first1947 ENIAC computer.

Today's greeting cardthat sings "Happy Birthday" contains more computerpower than existed on earth before 1950.

Most home video camerascontain a more powerful chip than the huge IBM system360 computer: the giant that filled hundreds of sq. ft. ofair-conditioned space in the 1960s.

Genesis offers a gamewith a computer more powerful than a multimiUion-doliar1976 Cray supercomputer.

Sony has a videogamewith a 200 MIPs (millions of instructions per second)processor that not so long ago would have cost about$3 million in mainframe form.

GORDON DRYDEN** Presentation to British Telecommunications' Think Tank on

"Building the Communications Society", London, England, September 1996.

Note: Since then, computer prices have dropped so the cheapestcan be bought for well under $1,000. In September 1998

co-author Dryden recommended to the New Zealand Governmentthat it should underwrite the cost of providing a computer to everychild in the country, to be paid for by a Charge on the phone bill.
