Dear Ms. Thrope:
Our records indicate that you are one of only a handful of people not yet plugged into the wired world of yesterday. Yes, yesterday. We can no longer speak of tomorrow when we speak of interactive technology. Tomorrow got here yesterday. Today isn’t even in the present anymore. And you are missing from this vital component of Spaceship Earth’s crew. What can you be thinking?
Did you know that through access to the World Wide Web you can quickly find out facts about any subject in the world? There are databases and maps and libraries and jokes and riddles and card games and information on brooms, varicose veins, psoriasis, gardening…you name it. In addition, you can e-mail people and join in fascinating discussion groups with complete strangers and get seriously indignant about topics that you didn’t even know existed!
And chat. Say, “Hi!” to people around the world. Enjoy the warm glow of interactive companionship as they say, “Hi!” to you. And if it’s romance you want. Well…have a virtual fling! Millions of people do.
There’s excitement, mystery and just plain fun awaiting you on the Internet. You can have your own “home page” and put up pictures of your plants and house pets and relatives and friends. Millions of people have home pages. About 20,000 new ones join the web every day. Think of it!
And you can buy anything you want on the web. Cars, sweaters, airplanes, pvc fencing. It’s all right there with secure credit card transactions ready to put your wishes in your hands by way of a friendly Fed Ex person right on your front porch. What could be more fun?
So, get involved, get interactive and get wired. Your country’s economy depends on it. Call for our free brochure: Getting All the Cyber You Need. Do it today! 1 800 G.E.T. W.E.B.D.
Sincerely,
Franklin Q. Fangley
Acting Deputy Director of Interactive Activity
