Electronic news, 80′s style.
From the YouTube description:
Long before anyone had heard of the Internet, early home computer users could read their morning newspapers online … sort of. Steve Newman’s 1981 story was broadcast on KRON San Francisco.
This video is fantastic and is a great insight into how far we’ve come technologically in the past 27 years. Imagine (and for some of us it’s not that much of a stretch to do so) getting the entire text of a newspaper delivered to you in two hours. TWO HOURS! Most broadband connections today could grab the same amount of data in a couple of minutes (or less).
