Teleshopping is shopping at a distance as in carryng out a complete buying transaction from a PC or television in the home. The first demonstration of real-time transaction processing from a domestic television was by Michael Aldrich in 1979. Aldrich designed, manufactured and sold systems in the UK in the 1980s and installed them in large corporations. There were many world firsts.He used modified domestic televisions, and minicomputers networked to mainframes. His TV technology was called videotex using the Prestel chip set. He wrote a book about it published in 1982. Aldrich's work pre-dated the IBM PC, Microsoft, Windows and the internet www. His ideas on teleshopping and teleworking set out in the book are today interestingly prophetic.
