I did a search for Prodigy to see if any users had taken video of the screen. Not sure if video cameras could take video of the screen that wouldn't be out of focus, however.
Prodigy was a HUGE breakthrough in the late 80's / early 90's. It was among the very first systems that made the internet access for us. E-mailing, shopping/ paying bills online, finding information via the computer at the time were almost completely unheard of.

Did you get a computer recently? Well congratulations.
That sounded really sarcastic.

Sports scores faster than a TV?
Were televised sports scores that slow back then?

Actually, CompuServe came along and eclipsed Prodigy. Later (around 1995), AOL did the same to CompuServe.

@Timbrock1000 From the '80s until the mid '90s, Prodigy was an online service, not an internet provider.
