This fascinating San Francisco TV report shows that at least some folks in the newspaper industry saw where things were headed even before the internet as we know it existed.
A few great tidbits;
- 2-3,000 people had home computers in the San Fran Bay area in 1981
- giving one guy's credentials as "Owns home computer"
- predicting that hardcopy newspapers didn't need to wory just yet about online competition since it cost about $10 to download the paper and 20 cents to buy it on the news stand
