This is partly due to the concept of adding external computers to the videotex network and partly due to the emergence of more intelligent terminals. In this paper, four major application areas, which have been made possible by these developments but have not yet received the attention they merit, are discussed in some detail: teleplaying, telegambling, telesoftware, and telecomputing. The authors maintain, and try to demonstrate, that these four areas will significantly influence the market-penetration and social impact of videotex systems. date: 1982-01-30 date_type: published publisher: North-Holland id_number: 10.3233/ISU-1982-2103 creators_browse_id: 2170 creators_browse_id: 2371 full_text_status: none publication: Information Services and Use volume: 2 number: 1 pagerange: 19-34 refereed: TRUE issn: 01675265 coversheets_dirty: FALSE fp7_project: no fp7_type: info:eu-repo/semantics/article citation: Maurer, H.A. & Sebestyen, I.
