Primitive Internet News from 1981

Boing Boing posted this earlier today. It’s a TV news report from 1981 about how some newspapers are moving toward electronic delivery systems. At this time it apparently took 2 hours for the newspaper to download (text only of course) and cost $10 to do so; oh how times have changed. Enjoy.
