In the 1980s there were a lot of television ads that showed how people might use technology in the future.
I remember one that showed a woman waking up in bed and (I think) speaking to the computer across the room to ask for the news and weather. The part that struck me odd then wasn't the use of voice command, it was the idea of wanting to interact with a computer right away in one's bedroom, before even having coffee or seeing sunlight. And now here we are.

Good Morning #Canada
On January 20th, 1953, American TV shows were broadcast into Canada from Buffalo New York, via a CBC communication link. But did you know that TV broadcasting had existed in Canada for 2 decades before Public Television in the U.S. started asking for your money? The attached article provides a rambling but pretty exhaustive overview of how the TV industry evolved in Canada, both regionally and nationally. It's long, probably a 2-coffee read, but full of interesting trivia and name-dropping of some Canadian legends.
