2023: “can we turn it off?”
It was a thing for most of the world, I just don’t believe it really caught on in the US, it was called teletext and was really widely used.
It was done. Teletext delivered news, sports results, horoscopes, closed captions, all directly to your TV in real-time. It was quite clever as a pre-internet method to deliver text content to every home.
All the people in the comments here being unaware of this makes me feel old.
