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.

Hello and welcome to Leanne's Life! Before anything else - please know that this is my own personal blog and is in no way affiliated with my employer or any other company.
Now a little bit about me: I'm a native of Central Florida and work at Walt Disney World Resort. (And yes, it's a dream job!) Prior to my magical days at Disney I spent nearly 10 years at WFTV Ch-9 in Orlando. I'm a graduate of Rollins College. I love animals so you'll probably see quite a few stories here about my babies, Mikita and Jefferson.
I hope you'll enjoy my posts. Topics will be wide ranging from amusing stories about daily life to the excitement about something that happened at work, or maybe just my random (and sometimes silly) thoughts on something. Who knows!?
Thanks for visiting and please comment so I know what you're thinking.

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!?!?!?!
