Based in Los Angeles, Lewis now regularly reports on the revolution in information technology. In 1993, he did a "Nightly News" series titled "Almost 2001," that marked the beginning of interactive electronic exchanges between television networks and their viewers. Those watching the reports were urged to send e-mails, some of which were read on the air. It was the first time most viewers heard news anchors use the term "dot-com."fact|date=May 2008
