Flashback to 1981

Found this via a newsletter I subscribe to through Ragan.com that they found on TechCrunch. It’s a 1981 news story on how the internet might possibly impact the newspaper/news business.

    Great post Leanne. Amazingly good forecasting for a 1981 broadcast. I loved that the interviewee was described as “Home Computer Owner”, and that only 2,000 people in the Bay Area had computers at that time. Me thinks the numbers are slightly higher these days.

    Wasn’t it interesting? It will be fun to see today’s predictions 20 years from now. What lies ahead!?!?!?!
