iPhone Giveaway of the Day - Teletext Stickies

These 40 animated stickers are a lovely tribute to the dying medium teletext.

Teletext influenced an entire generation—it was a revolutionary technology that displayed interactive texts and graphics on your home television, long before the internet was available.

Beside black and white, Teletext can display six colors (3-bit RGB). The low resolution led to the characteristic pixel style. If reception was poor, it often came to »glitches« (display errors). Every TV-station could transmit 899 Videotext-pages but not every page could be broadcasted at the same time. Also, memory in TVs was expensive. That’s why you often had to wait for the required page to display.
