Definition

  • Designed in the late 1970s to mid-1980s, videotex was an information delivery system for the home, and one of the earliest incarnations of “end-user information systems.” Typically, videotex systems were menu-driven systems designed for display on television sets. Videotex information included news, weather, and local information and services (such as bus schedules, entertainment event listings, etc.). [Source: Encyclopedia of New Media; Videotex]
