Funny 1981 Video: "Hey! What if We Could Put the NEWS on a COMPUTER?"

I got this from  Hot Air, who got it from Breitbart. 

“Imagine, if you will, sitting down to your morning coffee, turning on your home computer to see the day’s newspaper. Well, it’s not as far-fetched as it may seem.”

I love the caption for one man interviewed for the story:  "Owns Home Computer."

It's too funny.  Stick with it to the end for the ironic last line.

Oh man, you folks joke over this, but I remember this!!! I remember putting the rotary phone handset in the "modem". I remember those first "word processors". Yikes, time sure flies!

Sure love technology! Glad to see what we have now.

The newsie said, 'We're not doing this for the money.' He must work for the New York Times now.
