When you think of San Francisco, many magical images are no doubt conjured up in your mind.  Most folks imagine cable cars climbing up fog-shrouded hills. They smell the fish being offered in the stalls along Fisherman’s Wharf. They see the twinkling lights of the Golden Gate and San Francisco Bay Bridges at dusk. These days you can go right online and take a wonderful tour of the City by the Bay — and you don’t have to contact Internet service providers in San Francisco, either. All you have to do is use your current connection and search for videos and images to see and hear the sights and sounds of this magical city.

Network access has made touring the world a simple matter. There was a time when travel programs were common on local television stations. Hosts like Bill Burrud or Lowell Thomas would produce elaborate travelogues. Unless you could afford to travel, these shows were your only connection to exotic far-away places. Now you can see locally produced videos of every imaginable place on earth — right on your home computer screen. Climb aboard Old Ironsides in Boston Harbor; climb the steps up to the top of the Statue of Liberty; drive down the twists and turns of Lombard Street in San Francisco — it’s all there for you to experience online — thanks to the magic of the Internet.
