TED2: Douglas Adams

"TV as a non-linear non-interactive medium is a mixed blessing. I hope one of the things we're here to do is plot its overthrow." - Douglas Adams, author, “Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy”

From laserdisc jacket:
TED2, the second conference of Technology Entertainment and Design, was held in February 1990 in Monterey, California.
TED2 was a unique opportunity to see what the convergence of culture and technology has produced in the years since the first TED conference in 1984.
As Stewart Alsop, the computer chronicler noted, "TED2 was a milestone even in the personal computer industry. I believe it will eventually rank in historical importance with the original Homebrew Computer Club meetings."
