This classic newscast from 1981 is too good to pass up. Major newspapers putting their stories online — without the fancy photos “and the comics.” But would they every really replace the “20 cent edition” in print?

Oh, but Todd—insert whine here—you can’t take the computer to the toilet with you! Except that you can if you want. Look, I like newsprint with the best of ’em. But good reporting and stories are good regardless of the medium. Things change. We just to evolve with them. Not devolve as so many newspaper did in their fat-and-happy years.

Not even 30 years ago … Wow. How easy it is to forget the days of hours-long downloads via telephone (hoping the connection wouldn’t go down) and DOS-based (i.e., not WYSIWYG) screens. Too funny!
