   videotex n. obs.   An electronic service offering people the
   privilege of paying to read the weather on their television screens
   instead of having somebody read it to them for free while they brush
   their teeth.   The idea bombed everywhere it wasn't
   government-subsidized, because by the time videotex was practical
   the installed base of personal computers could hook up to
   timesharing services and do the things for which videotex might have
   been worthwhile better and cheaper.   Videotex planners badly
   overestimated both the appeal of getting information from a computer
   and the cost of local intelligence at the user's end.   Like the
   {gorilla arm} effect, this has been a cautionary tale to hackers
   ever since.   See also {vannevar}.
