Abstract | Some of the ways in which cable communications may affect society's ability to help individuals who, in one way or another, are less fortunate than most are explored. The services contemplated here include job training and placement, family counseling, rehabilitation, and home management assistance. The proposed audience would include those who are blind, deaf, crippled, elderly, very young, and/or poor. A model of a cable-based communication system for a metropolitan area of one million people demonstrates the types and amounts of social service such a system could deliver. The specific needs of each of the target populations for such service are explored in more detail. The economics of social service delivery by cable are discussed, and some of the important questions to be answered before developing such a system are raised. (JY) |
