ABSTRACT:
A system delivers information relating to a time sequence of events, either factual or fictional. A set of reports about the events is stored in a data storage device, each report containing information relating to a specific period of time, such as a day, a week, a month, etc. The period of time covered by each report is contiguous with that of another report in the set. A subset of the reports is retrieved from the data storage device and transferred to a user's computer memory. When accessed by the user, the information contained in the subset of reports is presented in accordance with a predetermined temporal relationship between real time and the span of time depicted in the set of reports. The user can access reports corresponding to earlier periods of time, but cannot access reports relating to later periods of time. The user's experience thereby simulates the experience of witnessing the events as they unfold in real time.
