Minitel

Minitel is the first home computer like in France before the internet. You'd have Yellow Page or train / flight information and many more.


This is the one my grand mother-in law has in her house, it's been there unused for quite sometimes, as she uses internet now.


I've always wanted to take a photo just to show, as I have never seen the kind before but the contents looks similar to the teletext on TV in the UK. Since the internet has become a norm for sometimes, apparently the Minitel services will be completely closed by the end of June this year...
