would be cool with one that just shows a fresh copy of the times on a wall everyday but picks one for the current day from random ones in the past. or maybe make it fun where it picks one from the past with similar headlines.
Bonus points if you add a webcam that face scans the person who is standing in front of them, matches the face with the numerous profiles built from people (some combination of Facebook + Twitter + GitHub would probably find most people), get their birthday and show the frontpage from when they were born.
I am not sure if this is a reference to telescreen from 1984 or not.
Kind of but the vital difference that the entities holding the data are for-profit companies with no oversight instead of governments with no oversight.
Or if they were ever in the paper..
I was thinking the exact same thing. Or better yet, if you touch the screen, it changes to show a random front-page from that "day in history".
