Abstract
We consider some of the range of technological, sociological and infrastructure issues pertinent to the future development of networked interpersonal communication devices and their applications. Various technological developments - microelectronics, the superior reliability of RAM over disc, cheap communications - make network computers feasible. Various social developments (notably the World Wide Web and other network utilities) suggest sustained uptake of network computers is likely. Therefore they will be built, and they will be used
