Text on Text

Since I started this blog I've been doing a bit of research and found that despite age teletext is improving. A few years ago something called High Text was developed. Basicly an improved version of teletext that carries more colours, better graphics and can store more pages. That equals no flicking around and a very quick service. It seems no teletext service is willing to apply the service though as all engeries (and more importantly money) are centred on digital-interactive- PRESS THE FUCKING RED BUTTON NOWWWW!!! craze of the moment. It would also slow down the service apparently. Yeah, that doesn't seem to make much sense. Certain new televisons advertise high text though I'm not sure if that can work without the brodcaster trasmitting high text. As you've probably guessed I don't have High Text and had never heard of it till last week. I'll be checking all my friends TV's soon though. Anyone who knows more about it feel free to comment.

Something that for some reason has never been transferred to digital text. In fact the idea that Digital text is more interactive is let down by this. Admittly some of the opinions are, shall we say eccentric, but it's certainly entertaining. And if you want to know the opinions of conservative pensioners and bored poor people theres no better way.
