Are You Old Enough to Remember Typewriters – and the Day You Switched to a Computer?
It’s fast approaching “Beer O’Clock” at Web Business Academy Head Office … so it’s time for our Friday Techno Funny and I love sharing these with you too. We toast you every Friday “Here’s To Our Web Friends“.
This week’s Techno Funny is for the more ‘mature’ among us that remember and probably used Typewriters at work before companies started transitioning to desktop computers across the office – today that’s expected (and a laptop).
Well, I remember learning to type in High School, it was a fav subject of me and my girlfriends because we learned to type to music (which played on a record player in the corner – 45 singles they were and Michael Jackson was a regular on the turn table).
Who else remembers transitioning to a computer and perhaps your first time using one?
This very short vid will give you a bit of a laugh as you greatly appreciate the mistake she’s about to make. …. Have a Fun, Safe and Memorable weekend. Enjoy and Share your comments below!

My first typing job started in late June, 1959, typing on an IBM Selectric in a NYC office, which I typed my way full time thorough university for five years. On that electric typewriter that carried me through the early and mid-1960s, I typed the several novels I wrote in the 1960s. By 1981, I switched to my first computer, a Radio Shack model, capable of 64 K. Each page had to be repaginated as I wrote five more books until 1985. So happy IBM came out with computers that didn’t have to be repaginated each page. In 1987 I bought my first real computer, but I’ll never forget typing all day on the typewriter. Before 1959, I typed my way through high school and my first year of college at home, outside the office, on my old Royal typewriter, a manual, that I started typing on at the age of nine, back in the early 1950s. So happy to have a computer.
