The Intelligent Island

This Horizon documentary looks at the radical transformations in the Singapore society as its technology extends into monitoring, logging, and linking up all businesses, information, and aspects of life on computer systems. The country's ultimate plan is to link the entire population electronically through the world's most advanced videotext system called Teleview. The report raises the question of what type of society this may create and also the political implications of such a system.
