Charlie peers into the future
Chapter 10
I always knew you were dumb (said Charlie),
2But I didn’t think you were completely deaf and blind too,
3Until today.
4The fact is, you couldn’t have chosen a better career,
5Because I have peered far into the future,
6Through my monocle,
7Which is a small screen indeed and not always easy to read,
8But I think I know the gist of what will come,
9Which is why I can assure you that TV is the most important development in the whole history of civilization,
10Bar none.
11It will change everything about who we are,
12And what we do,
13And how we think about it.
14The truth is that TV is so big and so important that even I don’t quite know where to begin,
15Except to tell you that TV is so big and so important that even you will become big and important,
16Because you’ll be on TV for a long long time,
17And change the world.
