Så här såg framtiden ut...

..år 1981. Ur speakertexten:
"This is only the first step in newspapers by computers. Engineers now predict the day will come when we get all our newspapers and magazines by home computer, but that’s a few years off."

DN:s Elin Peters skriver om min räkskalarvideo

Skalkonst - DN: "Som hur viktigt det är att skala räkorna på rätt sätt till exempel. Detta har mina kolleger Nils Öhman och Mats Holmberg uppenbarligen diskuterat hela julen. Att bara slita av huvudet på räkan så där som jag gör är alltså förkastligt, man ska försiktigt pilla bort skalet på huvudet så att gucket inne i huvudet blir kvar, då smakar de mycket mer hävdar mina kolleger. Nils har till och med gjort en mycket instruktiv liten film, som ni med stort nöje kan beskåda här."

How the newspaper industry tried to invent the Web but failed. - By Jack Shafer - Slate Magazine: "Newspapers deserve bragging rights for having homesteaded the Web long before most government agencies and major corporations knew what a URL was. Given the industry's early tenancy, deep pockets, and history of paranoid experimentation with new communication forms, one would expect to find plenty in the way of innovations and spin-offs.

But that's not the case, and I think I know why: From the beginning, newspapers sought to invent the Web in their own image by repurposing the copy, values, and temperament found in their ink-and-paper editions. Despite being early arrivals, despite having spent millions on manpower and hardware, despite all the animations, links, videos, databases, and other software tricks found on their sites, every newspaper Web site is instantly identifiable as a newspaper Web site. By succeeding, they failed to invent the Web."
