George Pake, The Head Of Research At Xerox, Predicted A Revolution. In Years, He Said, A Tv Terminal With A Push A Button To Call Up Documents On The Screen And Another Button To Get Their Mail Or Messages From Anywhere In The World.
He Predicted Printing Paper Would No Longer Be Needed, Ending The Days Of People Filing And Typing Things. Office Costs Would Plummet. People Were Giddy. Word Processors Would Eliminate The Need For Typing Pools, Typewriters, And Filing, All The Things That Office Workers Did. Of Course, When That Did Start Happening, Weird, Unpredictable Things Happened Too.
People Paid Attention To Fonts And Layout. The Plain Walls Of Text In Interoffice Memos Turned Into Desktop-published Beautiful Layouts. It Enabled Side Hustles. My Mom Had A Career Working From Home, Creating Interoffice Quarterly Reports Because She Knew How To Use A Word Processor. In The Late S, One Of My First Jobs Out Of College Was In Market Research, Where I Dictated Research Reports Into A Tape Recorder.
