kaen Posted April 19, 2012 Report Share Posted April 19, 2012 this is quite sad, i remember looking through ceefax at 5am when i was a child, you got that same feeling as when you first had access to the internet, that knowledge was right at your finger tips and you were connected to something much larger than yourself, it will be missed.

mcbpete Posted April 19, 2012 Report Share Posted April 19, 2012 Ah Teletext/Ceefax (and Oracle back in the day) with your Bamboozle, Mr Biffo's leftfield games reviews on Digitizer, Turner the worm, bizarre test pages (that as a kid I thought I'd hacked in to the service), pages that took ages to load and would inevitably then be displayed one page too far from the one you wanted, and when any hint of wind kicked up at our house all pages were reduced to this: (I'm sure this was one of the reasons I got into glitch stuff) Teletext - I salute you !

kaen Posted April 19, 2012 Report Share Posted April 19, 2012 I used to think that whenever i changed the page it would change everyone elses, like it was just one screen beamed out to everyone, i thought that if i fucked around with it too much someone would come to my house and arrest me yes i was a stupid child.

zkom Posted April 19, 2012 Report Share Posted April 19, 2012 (edited) Even though Finland has completely moved to digital TV broadcasting we still have the teletext.

hexagon son Posted April 19, 2012 Report Share Posted April 19, 2012 This makes me sad. Ceefax and Teletext were years ahead of their time. They had nothing like it in Canada. I would use these services a lot when I moved back to UK in '98, also when I was younger and go to visit relatives. They were my pre-internet internet.
