He envisions pocket-sized devices that can be carried on land and sea, receiving real-time world news or personal messages. The entire planet, he says, will be converted into a single, immense cerebral entity. He had already expressed the same ideas in 1900 in Century magazine. It is an incredibly lucid vision of the future of the age of information technology, wireless communications, and the Internet, not to mention cell phones and smartphones. The article is titled: &#8220;The Transmission of Electrical Energy Without Wires.&#8221; Part of the original thesis says: &#8220;I have no doubt that it will prove very efficient in enlightening the masses, particularly in still uncivilized countries and less accessible regions, and that it will add materially to general safety, comfort and convenience, and maintenance of peaceful relations. It involves the employment of a number of plants, all of which are capable of transmitting individualized signals to the uttermost boundaries of the earth. Each of them will be preferably located near some important center of civilization and the news it receives through any channel will be flashed to all points of the globe. A cheap and simple device, which could be carried in one&#8217;s pocket, may then be set up somewhere on sea or land, and it will record the world&#8217;s news or such special messages as may be intended for it. Thus the entire earth will be converted into a huge brain, as it were, capable of response in every one of its parts. Since a single plant of but one hundred horse-power can operate hundreds of millions of instruments, the system will have a virtually infinite working capacity, and it must facilitate and facilitate immensely. cheapen the transmission of intelligence.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Nikola Tesla writes in Electrical World &#038;
