There’s a lot to love in this news report about online newspapers from 28 years ago. Dialing the rotary phone to connect to the modem, citing a whopping 2,000 – 3,000 computer owners in the Bay Area, waiting two hours to download the content of a newspaper (and paying $5 an hour for the privilege)… Still, they weren’t far off in predicting how most of us get our news today.
Who knows where we’ll be in another 30 years?
My favorite part of the clip was the caption, “Owns Home Computer” under the man’s name.
Ha! I didn’t notice that in the first couple of viewings, but that is hilarious.
