You’ve got to love this technological time capsule, a 1981 report from KRON TV in San Francisco about the San Francisco Examiner’s experiments with this newfangled home computer technology. Our favorite passage:

So for the moment at least, this fellow [a newsstand attendant is pictured] isn’t worried about being out of a job.
