Newspapers—On Computers!

Fascinating 1981 news report explaining how certain San Francisco residents were reading the morning paper on their computers. We've come a long way: "It takes over two hours to receive the entire text of the newspaper over the phone, and with an hourly usage charge of $5, the new tele-paper won't be much competition for the twenty-cent street edition."

Can you find any similar news reports from the past, talking about personal computers or the internet or video games or garage door openers?
