Future On The Line, produced in 1990, was a utopian vision of how the emerging Internet could assist progressive community developers to grow local economies and strengthen the fabric of civic life. Produced in association with GreenNet, through the British Broadcasting Corporation’s Community Programme Unit for BBC 2, the documentary depicts a critical moment in the development of the United Kingdom's telecommunications environment and policy; and continues to inform community use of computer assisted communications.
