Description
A book written by Yoneji Masuda, one of the first persons discussing the arrival of the information society in the early 1980's.
Experiment
In 1974, a society of Japanese futurists proposed a billion dollar digital society plan called "The Information Society" as post-industrial society.
They believed that society could not continue to sustain itself if it relied on consumption and waste as top social and economic values. The project was tested in various households and included two-way communication systems that allowed users of the system to choose images to be displayed on their television screens as well as the ability to receive text messages by TV.
Educational programs where students could learn from the screen were tested as well. A database which digitally handled emergency calls was also tested, and it worked. This was an experimental internet. It was highly favored by those inside and outside of Japan, and it's proposed cost was in the billions of dollars.
