Ah yes, I also remember Teletext!
It’s still a thing. I gotta listen to my granddad regularly that he wishes the internet was more like the teletext.
My mother sent me a screenshot from teletext the other day.
He has a point
Remember tuning to the right page number and then having the screen flick over right when you arrived so you'd have to sit there for 5 minutes waiting for it to scroll round again? If the internet work like that we'd all have a lot more patience with each other.
