How teletext works! In Europe, it is still used. There is weather, classifieds, LOTS of "seeking partner" ads usually for the older generation, etc...
Really neat technology/"hack" when you think about it
- rahimnathwani 7y ago"In Europe, it is still used." Wow. Your comment prompted me to ask my dad whether he still uses teletext. I assumed the answer would be 'no', because he can read and watch news on his iPad. But apparently he still uses teletext for quick access to news headlines and share prices.
- danieldk 7y agoI have also seen people who use the online version/simulation of teletext. Probably because it is so brief and has very few distractions. E.g.: https://nos.nl/teletekst https://nos.nl/teletekst
