'another day on the buses'

There is a wonderful archive of BBC Tomorrow’s World programmes here. This one, introducing the home computer terminal, predicts a time when homes will have ‘special computer points’ (WiFi was unthinkable) and prices were expected to fall below those of renting a telephone. This first home computer terminal 42 years ago cost £30 per week! That’s £1,500 per year at a time when I was earning £900 per year.
