It'll never catch on.

I only foresee a need for maybe 2-3 computers in the world.

Many many years ago I was selling office furniture, another department was selling typewriters with the ability to store a page of text.

Their customers had no concept of what use that would be, much like the time Photocopiers first appeared. No one saw the point as copiers like this were doing so well.

Will we all be using the Apple Watch in the future? Predicting trends is very profitable.

I still remember the distinct alcohol smell from the Gestetner.

What about all the clothes lines hanging out the pages to dry them?

And how the pages would smudge if the teacher handed them out too soon after printing.

I always used to get ink on my fingers when changing the typewriter ribbon. I remember having to get the rhythm of each machine while typing to avoid getting the keys stuck if you typed to fast.

There's more computing power in a home computer then there was on the Apollo spacecraft.

thats classic

This is great, thanks for posting it.

Yep, I remember that. Learned to type on a manual Olivetti.

Kids these days will never know the joys of white-out liquid or the white correction tape that came in a small dispenser. :1orglaugh

Probably more computing power in my SGS4 than the Apollo craft.
