PREVIEW

Trust me. This new century is going to be amazing.

They’re building ships- big ships capable of carrying thousands of people. Big ships that will be able to carry them quickly and easily all the way from here to New York! It’s the new century, yeah? It’s going to be amazing. They’re working on this one now, you know? They’re calling it the Titanic. Should be ready in ten years. I think there’s going to be big things for that one. 

You know what this century is going to hold? Radio is going to be big- but you know what I think is coming? Radio with pictures. You’ll be able to not just hear radio programs, but see it too! Think about it- you’re sitting there in the parlour and suddenly the program comes on and there’s a tiny little man who’s talking to you through the machine like he’s actually there!
