Hi, I'll take that.
1:08:13
Aren't you the messenger?
1:08:17
No.
1:08:20
Well, then you must
be here to fix the plumbing.
1:08:33
I'm here to see
Mr. Angus James.
1:08:36
Are you?
1:08:39
The book we know, Angus, will be
a thing of the past in a few years.
1:08:43
Novels, articles, newspapers,
Will all be downloaded onto a PC.
1:08:48
You're telling me to get
out of the publishing business?
1:08:51
We've got to reinvent the publishing
business for the electronic age.
1:08:55
I'm sorry to disturb you, gentlemen.
There's a wound up garbage man...
1:09:00
that seems to have written a poem.
A long poem.
1:09:02
And I recall how in last month's
meeting you stressed the need...
1:09:04
for us to be on the lookout for
more marginalized verse from...
1:09:08
un-established quarters
of the American scene.
1:09:10
-Did I say that?
-You did.
1:09:12
Twice.
1:09:13
Okay, Laura. Make an appointment.
Sometime next month.
1:09:17
Right-o.
1:09:18
So, how is the digital revolution
is going to help me sell books?
1:09:23
Why can't I see him now?
1:09:25
Because he's a very
important man, and...
1:09:29
you're not.
1:09:35
Be reasonable.
1:09:38
Why?
1:09:39
I don't think people are gonna
prefer reading books on televisions.
1:09:43
-It's not television...
-It's interactive.
1:09:45
Angus, look. We have
a number of charts here...
1:09:48
In every home in America, the PC
is gonna be where the TV used to be.
1:09:52
And it'll be a direct connection
to all forms of media.
1:09:55
An unprecedented transformation
in American social life.
1:09:59
We'll become more informed, more
literate, increasingly productive...
