I remember the dictaphone and the multiple carbon papers from the mid 1960's. I also remember when they brought in the FIRST "huge" IBM computer to the center of the office..........they hired an 18 year old fellow to learn how to use it; he was being trained by IBM computer experts. It was unlike anything today. All encased in a glass room.
Having been a private secretary, I also remember when the executives would send me to the actual file room........where all the documents and papers were kept. Now, everything is saved on the computer.
How things have changed. A blast from the past. I always loved typewriters. My parents bought me my first one when I was 13 and a freshman in high school with that I.B.M. Selectric in the typing class.
