Oettinger, Anthony G.; Shapiro, Peter D.
A critique is presented of a book which discusses the video telephone. The critique takes issue with the authors' prediction of the technological inexorability of the video telephone. They also disagree with the book's statements about the impact of the video telephone on the communications behavior of individuals and industries throughout the United States. A rebuttal by the authors of the book is given, followed by an epilog by the critique's authors. (JY)
