Want to kmow the weather, lottery results, TV channel program for the day and other info? Go to your TV and check the teletext
I am still using teletext every single day (albeit on my phone). It‘s my preferred way to get all the relevant news in the morning.
Wow, I'd somehow never heard of teletext. What country did you use that in?
At the time I think in most western Europe teletext was a thing. Imagine you had this menu on the TV with pages that have graphics of the Atari 2600, and you access by inserting 3 digits codes on the page, seeks the page for you, and presents what's in there. This was, in a nutshell, teletext
Want to book a holiday? Teletext. Want to play a daily quiz? Teletext. Want to check live football scores? Teletext.
At some point much later teletext even go a chat function. Was with SMS, extremely expensive.Soome people went ham on the relationships zone (and at some point there was also a 18+ zone for dirty talk during the night)
