Please Wait: A parody of the time thieves.
Excerpt from Prof. Mann's Keynote Address at the Virtual Reality
Conference in Rio de Janiero, June 1-6, 1998
Your organization's time is very important to me,
PLEASE WAIT for my next available moment!</H1>

I do not talk to strangers.

Therefore you must slide a government-issued ID
card through the slot on my head if you want to talk to me.

These SAFETYGLASSES prevent me from seeing or hearing you until you
identify yourself!

Until you provide positive ID, the camera and microphones on my head will
not be connected to my head mounted display set.

Your time is very important to me, so please wait for my next available
moment!

If you would like to try to sell me a new product, press 1.

If you would like to ask me to fill out a form, press 2.

If you would like to show me an advertisement, press 3, and
slide your credit card through my
slot to <strong> purchase my attention</strong>.

For quality-control and training purposes, this conversation may be
recorded or monitored.

If you would like to inform me that photography is not permitted on your
premises, press 9, and wait for my next available moment.

Your time is very important to me, so
PLEASE WAIT, while I steal your time, your life, and your soul!
