Unbelievable I know. But check out the video below to get a glimpse of a future where you'll be able to use a computer-based 'system' to access and read the news (well the future as seen from 1981 anyway).
I love the quote by one of the newspaper guys, "We don't expect to make any money."
Also, check out the home user's modem with the rubber cups to put the phone handset into – the first modem I ever used was almost identical to this.
Those were the days.
