1981 TV Report On Birth Of Internet News

• gojomo 18y ago
  I would have kept the gist of the original headline: "1981 TV Report On Birth Of Internet News". Some choice quotes: "Of the estimated 2-3 thousand home computer owners in the Bay Area, the Chronicle reports over 500 have responded back by sending in coupons." "It takes over 2 hours to receive the entire text of the newspaper over the phone, and with an hourly use charge of $5, the new tele-paper won't be much competition for the 20-cent street edition."

      Hmm, maybe your spin was better for drawing upvotes. Well, I thought it was a cool story.

        Heh - spin doesn't matter, I was just hoping it could spark a discussion.
