The future of videotext
1983
Sigel, Efrem
Abstract: The worldwide prospects for home and office electronic information services for data retrieval and display on a television screen are reviewed and discussed for industrial and federal planners and for the general public. Explanations are given on how videotext and telenet technology developed, current barriers to its expanded use, its advantages and disadvantages relative to traditional information sources (e.g., books, magazines, newspapers, television), and its potential use for shopping and banking transactions. The status of electronic information services around the world is surveyed, with particular attention to major commitments, their potential and growth frustrations in the US, United Kingdom, Canada, France, and other countries. Solutions to problems besetting this simple and potentially revolutionary technology are offered. Over 100 organizations involved with videotext are covered. (wz).
