ABSTRACT
There is tremendous concern in United States about TV violence. The concern is justified: Violence on television is one of many causes of violence in our society, and violence is totally unacceptable in any "well-ordered society". One task we can and should assign to government is to guarantee that the communications revolution reach all Americans, to ensure that we do not divide into a society of information haves and have-nots. Some argue that by virtue of the inexorable logic of market economics, the information highway like the telephone line will naturally reach to all Americans who need it. In 13 states, more than one in 12 households don't have telephones. The capabilities of the humble telephone line are multiplying. The common telephone line could bring every classroom in the country onto the information highway. The communications revolution could bring all adults and children into the great public reasoning process that ultimately will sort out chaos of values in this country.
