Newspapers Saw Their Future Online in 1981

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
