the robot to a state of extreme
alertness and precision. As she voices
in Vision Zone 96807, $BUCK, the
ageless entrepreneur concealed
behind Raymie's steel, suddenly
surfaces. She focuses on famed
business genius and commentator
I.M. Ritch as he lectures on the
necessities for attaining billionaire
status. ' .,"
"Regardless of the circumstance,
we must not fall back to the 20th
century economic system if an abun
dance of wealth is desired," he
exclaims. To strengthen his case he
pulls out the audible, color
coordinated Accu-Graph 4IC-ALL
System and voices in the following
information:
1988 The typical husband and
wife work 40 hours each, weekly.
2000 The typical husband and
wife enjoy a 20 hour work week.
Technology has boosted productivity
to 500 percent of that of 1988.
1988 Electronic tax filing and
refunding available on a very limited
basis; application processing for
mortgages averages 15-25 business
days.
2000 Thirty percent of all tax
filers send tax returns to IRS directly
by computer and about the same
percent have refunds deposited
directly to their bank account via
electronic transfer. Application pro
cessing for mortgages is possible in
a couple of hours to a couple of days
via computer mortgage shopping.
"Notice the efficiency," Ritch
exclaims. "My ambitious audience,
we shall end this session by observing
the impact of education on economic
achievement. Education has played
an enormous role in the world of
money and it will continue to signif
icantly affect you and me today
and tomorrow."
The audiovision lights up beauti
fully, revealing his claims:
Median Income Comparisons of
Year-Round Workers 1986: Com
paring education level to medium
income, we see that through elemen
tary school, women average $10,448
a year and men average $16,812;
through high school, women average
$14,569 and men average $23,269;
through college, women average
$21,889 and men average $33,934.
"Although education today in the
year 2010 costs much more (averaging
$12,000 annually at a state university
and $26,000 at a private college) when
compared to the year 1988 (averaging
$6,172 per year at a state university
and $12,000 at a private institution),
it is still priceless," Ritch concluded.

sounded five times and it was 5:42
A.N., time for Helga to voice in
WPAST, 1980S, the zone that made
historian Joe I. Tellue famous.
Today's history programming session
features a rap-a-long segment based
on a salary survey from the 1980s

Alfredo Quicktense, irate at not
finding his governmental occupation
SAE012 on the top thirty list, is
somewhat pacified and amused to see
the average salaries for the following
majors: Liberal Arts ($19,213), Engi
neering ($29,820), Accounting
($22,838), Communications
($18,120), and Education ($18,850).

real.
