Thanks to TechCrunch for pointing out this 1981 TV news report on a very early effort to provide news via the computer. It took two hours to download the whole newspaper, and apparently the benefit was the ability to copy, print, and save news so you could go back to it later. Hosted on YouTube, so if you are blocked at school, check it out from home. Provided you have a computer at home.
