This news report from 1981 on computers downloading newspapers (only takes 2 hours per paper!) is both hilarious and terribly sad. To hear a quote like, "We're not in it to make money," is ironic, given the fact that the Internet is doing a number on newspapers today since nobody is making money on the Web.

Regardless, this is a fun news report showing that some scientific predictions do come true. Now where the hell is my flying car?
