We need to debate what kind of hypermedia suit our vision of society - how we create the interactive products and on-line services we want to use, the kind of computers we like and the software we find most useful. We need to find ways to think socially and politically about the machines we develop. While learning from the can-do attitude of the Californian individualists, we also must recognise that the potentiality of hypermedia can never solely be realised through market forces. We need an economy which can unleash the creative powers of hi-tech artisans. Only then can we fully grasp the Promethean opportunities of hypermedia as humanity moves into the next stage of modernity.
我们需要讨论什么样的超媒体适合我们的社会愿景——我们如何创建我们想要使用的互动产品和在线服务，我们喜欢的那种电脑和我们认为最有用的软件。我们需要找到从社会和政治上思考我们所开发的机器的方法。当我们从加州个人主义者的积极态度中学习时，我们也必须认识到，超媒体的潜力永远无法仅通过市场之力来实现。我们需要一种能释放高科技工匠创造力的经济。只有这样，当人类进入现代性的下一个阶段时，我们才能充分把握超媒体的独创生机。
