Minitel 2.0

FR: Le réseau Transpac qu'utilisait le minitel a été arrêté définitivement le 01/07/2012 à minuit après 30 ans de fonctionnement.
Mais le minitel définitivement mort ? Techniquement, oui, mais philosophiquement, avec le « cloud computing » et les terminaux bridés comme les tablettes et les smartphone, il est juste devenu tactile et sans-fil.

The Transpac network used by the minitel* have been shutdown for good on 07/01/2012 midnight (GMT +1:00) after being launched 30 years ago.
But, is minitel really dead? Technicaly, yes, but philosophically, with cloud computing and jailed terminals like tablets and smartphones, it just have a touch-screen and become wireless.

*A telematic terminal popular in France during the 80' and most of the 90'. For more informations about the minitel, see the Minitel Research Lab
