Welcome to random Wiki of the Day where we read the summary of a random Wikipedia page every day.
The random article for Friday, 31 July 2020 is Datapoint 3300.
The DataPoint 3300 was the first computer terminal manufactured by the Computer Terminal Corporation (later renamed to Datapoint Corporation), announced in 1967 and shipping in 1969. Since this terminal was intended to replace a teleprinter such as those made by Teletype Corporation it was one of the first glass TTYs (glass for the screen, TTY as the abbreviation for "Teletype") ever produced.
As well as being sold under its own name, it was also sold as the DEC VT06 and the HP 2600A (introduced in 1972).
This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 00:43 UTC on Friday, 31 July 2020.
