    Nightline in Prime Time:Brave New World

    "Now, in his series of eight ABC News specials, Robert Krulwich is never short of surprises.
    The first big surprise from Krulwich's "Nightline in Prime Time:Brave New World" is that he doesn't really care about surprising you with answers. Instead, his ambitious series, premiering
    Thursday at 10 p.m. EDT, believes provocative questions are their own reward.
    "This is kind of the un-news news program," said Ted Koppel, who nominally anchors the series. "It's unlike any other news program you've ever seen, in part because we're taking up issues that are so huge and so profound, that most of us are afraid to touch them."
    Krulwich isn't. The series' constant presence, he is game to ask questions, make connections, stir up thought and - yes - have fun with ideas.
    This week's "Brave New World" explores speed. What is it about speed that is so irresistible? What is the effect of ever-speedier machines continuously revving up the pace of our lives? How
    would we ever slow down? Would we even want to? "
    Krulwich clocks the once-acceptable span of time required to place a call on a dial telephone. But now that the far speedier push-button phone is the norm, he wonders why a dial phone seems not just slower, but torturously slo-o-oow."
