It’s weird how some of these futurists got some of the details right (viewing news on the TV) while missing the obvious (being able to read / select / zoom-in on one article).
Can you imagine how awful it would be to project a newspaper’s front page 1:1 on a TV, then try to read it? Even with a 4k TV the text would be small, and there’s no way you could read it from the couch.
I remember hooking my desktop up to a large CRT TV to play StarCraft via composite cables with an adapter. But the resolution didn’t work. You couldn’t read shit. Could play but not chat with my friends
