Old Technology That People Still Use

[Harper]

Here I am waiting for the bus this week. And i see this guy walking up the street carrying some thing. Mind you, it was twight at the time.

So it got me thinking :-
"Oh, a desk top pc"
Looks again....
"No, don't think so. Don't see any obvious PC ports there. VCR Maybe...."

Guys getting closer....
"No, it not a VCR....."

Guy is walking right pass me....
"O.M.G.WT.F! An electronic TypeWriter! When was the last time I saw one of them!"


I did not release that people still used these things.


BTW, for those people that have no idea what a type writer is, look here.

Many people in my area are hicks, and still use Windows 95 on their 486s. I know because they come into Office Depot all the time wanting new printers and DVD burners for these dinosaurs, and walk away dissapointed when I tell them they won't work on their system.

technogoly wise: Commodor 64



VERY ANCIENT in technogy days since tech. seems to be improving faster than our lives can accept that fact.... so C 64's release date is like.... 3000000 years of our regular life right??

That things AWESOME!! lol

Got a 70ish year old lady in the office who would only give up her typewriter if you pried it from her cold dead fingers.
...Considering how long she retains anything I tell her about the general use computer, its for the best.

Ive got 3 clients that still use typewriters, hey, it works

takes alot less time to insert a form into a typewriter and type what you want than using a PC on it
