The Rise and Fall of Teletext

I didn’t own a television set within the last 15 years. However I still use teletext for reading the news. At least German public broadcasters maintain their teletext and make it accessible trough the internet.

Sometimes technical limitations make product better. The only downside though is that permalinks are impossible: If the accoutrement is gone, its gone forever
