Babylon Five fiction or a future reality?

[GeoKuutio]

The computer age offers individuals the ability to communicate cheaply with many others -- faster and over greater distance. To express their opinion cheaper, access more sources of information, compare and verify them against each other.

That's good point you're having there. Without this ability there wouldn't be any forums like this one, I couldn't keep in touch with my relatives that live on the other side of ocean as fast as I'm doing now... Heck, can I borrow this one if there's a proper conversation going in school?
