The demos were originally recorded in 1978. In the album's sleevenotes, Numan states that they were deliberately written and recorded in the then-popular punk rock style (clipped vocals, buzzsaw guitar mainly playing barre chords, bass and drums), with the express aim of securing a record deal. Some of the songs on the album (such as "Friends", "Something's In The House" and "My Shadow in Vain") later became the basis for songs on the released debut album Tubeway Army, automated with the synthesizer rock sound which would become the Tubeway Army/Numan trademark.
Numan's record company, Beggars Banquet Records, decided to release these recordings in September 1984, a year after Numan left the label. In the intervening seven years since recording the demos, Numan's career had scaled great heights of commercial success and then waned. His most successful material had been similar in basic form and structure to the demos on The Plan, but had showcased a new synthesizer-based instrumentation instead of the 'punk' sound.
In Washington, D.C., The Plan is a conspiracy theory regarding governance of the city. Theorists insist that some whites have had a plan to "take back" the city since the beginning of home rule in the 1970s, when the city started electing blacks to local offices. The theory has quiet, but considerable support.
History
It appears that Lillian Wiggins, a columnist for the Washington Afro American newspaper, was the first to articulate the conspiracy theory. In 1979, she wrote: "Many residents believe that the Marion Barry era may be the last time Washington will have a black mayor. If negative programming and characterization of black leadership are allowed to continue in the city of Washington and especially the black community, there is a strong possibility of the 'master plan' which I have so often spoken about maturing in the 1980s." As with many conspiracy theories, The Plan has some foundation in reality: believers note that the Federal City Council, an organized group of civic and corporate leaders, mostly white, meets in secret and uses its power to influence the city's direction.
The Plan (Kannada:ದಿ ಪ್ಲಾನ್) is a 2015 Indian Kannada suspense thriller film written and directed by Keerthi in his debut, and produced by Ashok Shetty. The cast includes Ananth Nag, Kousthubh Jayakumar, Hemanth, Sriram, Jagadish, Sanath, Gauthami, Harish Roy, and Ramesh Bhat. The film's background score is done by Surender Sodhi.
Plot
Three youngsters are sent to Madikeri District Prison for their crime by district court for a crime. The prisoners explore the option of escape from the prison with detail plan. How they succeed and deal with strict jailer?

The Kiwi Advanced Research and Education Network (KAREN), now known simply as the REANNZ Network, is a high-capacity, ultra high-speed national research and education network (NREN) connecting New Zealand's tertiary institutions, research organisations, libraries, schools and museums, and the rest of the world. REANNZ (Research and Education Advanced Network New Zealand Ltd), a Crown-owned not-for-profit company, owns and operates KAREN.
Commissioned in late 2006, KAREN links to other established regional and national research and education networks, notably to JANET in the UK, and to the Pacific Northwest Gigapop in Seattle.
E-research
New Zealand researchers and educators can use KAREN to participate in e-research:
to exchange large volumes of data quickly
to gain access to large-scale national and international infrastructure
to collaborate better on research and education projects at a distance.
KAREN aims:
to enable leading-edge e-research
to facilitate universal connectivity throughout the New Zealand and international research and education communities
In computer networking, the Name/Finger protocol and the Finger user information protocol are simple network protocols for the exchange of human-oriented status and user information.
Name/Finger protocol
The Name/Finger protocol, written by David Zimmerman, is based on Request for Comments document RFC 742 (December 1977) as an interface to the name and finger programs that provide status reports on a particular computer system or a particular person at network sites. The finger program was written in 1971 by Les Earnest who created the program to solve the need of users who wanted information on other users of the network. Information on who is logged-in was useful to check the availability of a person to meet. This was probably the earliest form of presence information for remote network users.
Prior to the finger program, the only way to get this information was with a who program that showed IDs and terminal line numbers (the server's internal number of the communication line, over which the user's terminal is connected) for logged-in users. Earnest named his program after the idea that people would run their fingers down the who list to find what they were looking for.

https://www.patreon.com/eschbach
Before Gary Numan there was Tubeway Army, and before they recorded any albums, they produced these demos. Even though they were recorded in 1978, they didn't get their first release until 1984, at which point they would have been slightly dated, at least in North America.

Tubeway Army / Gary Numan - Are 'Friends' Electric? 1979
Some background on this video:
I created this little video in 2001 when I purchased my first computer. I used the windows movie maker program and did not know much about it at the time. Technology has changed so much over the years that IF I wanted to, I could create something far, far better, but I would rather leave it as it is.
There was never an official video for Are 'Friends' Electric? and the intention was NOT to attempt to create an official video for it. The intention was to showcase this classic track from an artist I have followed since hearing it on the radio and watching it being performed on TV in 1979 (The Sugababes weren't even born then!). The aim was to try and get to 1 Million views, and then I'd remove it from YouTube, but it has now gone way past that.....and that's a...

Tubeway Army - Are 'Friends' Electric • TopPop
Are 'Friends' Electric?" is a 1979 song by the English band Tubeway Army. Taken from their album Replicas, it was released as a single in May 1979 and reached number one in the UK Singles Chart, staying there for four weeks. It was written and produced by Gary Numan, the band's frontman and lead vocalist.
"Are 'Friends' Electric?" features three different sections: a recurring "verse" with a synth riff in C and B flat, a recurring section with spoken word over slow arpeggiated seventh chords, and an instrumental break in F. The instrumentation is quite minimal: there is a conventional drum and bass guitar backing track, some additional heavily flanged guitar (particularly in the instrumental break), subdued vocals and, most prominently, Minimoog and Polymoog synthesisers.

The demos were originally recorded in 1978. In the album's sleevenotes, Numan states that they were deliberately written and recorded in the then-popular punk rock style (clipped vocals, buzzsaw guitar mainly playing barre chords, bass and drums), with the express aim of securing a record deal. Some of the songs on the album (such as "Friends", "Something's In The House" and "My Shadow in Vain") later became the basis for songs on the released debut album Tubeway Army, automated with the synthesizer rock sound which would become the Tubeway Army/Numan trademark.
Numan's record company, Beggars Banquet Records, decided to release these recordings in September 1984, a year after Numan left the label. In the intervening seven years since recording the demos, Numan's career had scaled great heights of commercial success and then waned. His most successful material had been similar in basic form and structure to the demos on The Plan, but had showcased a new synthesizer-based instrumentation instead of the 'punk' sound.
