First they ridicule you

Before I go on to English Settlement tomorrow (the next XTC album in alphabetical sequence), here's a futuristic TV report from the English Settlement era about being able to read the morning newspaper on your home computer. As Tom Servo would say "The news on your computer? It must be THE FUTURE!"



Of course, since it takes more than two hours to download using your 300 baud modem with a connection cost of $5/hr, so this new "telepaper" won't be much competition for the 20 cent street edition of the Chronicle.
