Abstract :
General-purpose (truly versatile) home interactive terminals with TV frame storage, relaying "still" color TV pictures produced and transmitted by computers via CATV (or equivalent) cable systems (or networks) may be one of the coming major technological developments of the future, having tremendous potential in such areas as business, education, medicine, etc. The user in his home or office could converse with computers through his terminal\´s touchtone keyboard and TV.
