A place to share and discuss Cassette Futurism: media where the technology closely matches the computers and technology of the 70s and 80s.
Whether it's bright colors and geometric shapes, the tendency towards stark plainness, or the the lack of powerful computers and cell phones, Cassette Futurism includes: Cassettes, ROM chips, CRT displays, computers reminiscent of microcomputers like the Commodore 64, freestanding hi-fi systems, small LCD displays, and other analog technologies.

Yeah another term for this could be a word processor (like the old school ones that were kinda smart typewriters with floppy disks on the side).
But instead of outputting through built-in printer, it spits out the output to a minicomputer (I’m assuming at the time).
"Word processor" is a good term. Specifically, these were made so that reporters could quickly work up articles from on-site news locales, then send them in to the newspaper office.
