Videocom: Difference between revisions

The rise of the Internet, helped along by the existence of web-like services found on Televideo, would chip away slowly at the online service. Although initially slow since early Internet necessitated the use of a phone line, when phoneless ways of getting online were making headway around the world, it was soon an inevitability that Televideo would, much like the Electronic News Herald before it, be rendered obsolete at its current state. Many computers had far greater graphics capabilities and far more speed than the average Televideo terminal, which was rapidly becoming more and more old-fashioned by the year 2000 with its block graphics and limited use. To try and maintain a hold, starting with the Televideo Express 1, released in 1992, all terminals would have an actual phone built right into the system, reducing the amount of phone line cables need to be connected down to one, which now could be used by both the phone and the terminal at once. These "all-in-one" terminals would be the basis for the Televideo Lite, released in 2003, and the subsequent terminals released under the Videocom brand.
