Newspapers over the internet? No way!

This was posted on another forum I frequent and thought the folks at POTN here might get a laugh out of it (some of you old geezers might remember it! ). Interesting to think about what the latest technology today might look like in 20 years.

Thoughts on the internet and newspapers in 1981

Of the estimated 2 to 3 thousand computer owners in the Bay Area. . .

Also loved how the guy was identified as "Computer Owner."

He was using a Radio Shack TRS-80 model 1. Just like the one I had. Still have, in fact - it's in the closet just to my left right now.

(No, I never throw anything away.)

LOL. That was highly amusing... 2-3K owners in the Bay Area.

I was one of them.

Amazing how far technology has come. Hilarious too The way the computers were, I can't imagine using it compared to today!

Edit: And by amazing how far it's come, that's obvious, but the views they had on the future and everything. Quite funny.

It'll never happen, not in a million years

Next thing they'll be telling us, we will have phones that we can use outside the house and office...
