In 1981 it cost $10 a day ($25.69 a day in 2013 money) and 2 hours to download a bare bones version of the newspaper. Current for $100 a month (phone and home) I can access not only my full local paper, but every paper on the planet, and 1000s of online only sites. Not to mention practically anything else within human limitations.

Technology FTW

LOL when he said "we're probably not gonna lose a lot, but we're not gonna make much either." Foreshadowing the death of the printed news some 30 years later.  ;D
