It’s been a crazy week here at Career Waymark, so we’re going to finish the week with a look at some stuff on the lighter side. Up first a trip down memory lane. Remember when these activities were part of our daily regimen? Thanks to Riveting Rosie for reminding us of our less technical past.
Here’s a sampling, to view the entire list click here.
- Rewinding VCR tapes.
- Calling collect.
- Formatting floppy disks.
- Loading film into a camera.
- Getting up from a couch to change channels or volume.
- Dialing.
- Remembering phone numbers.
- Using carbon paper.
- Rewinding a tape with a pen.
- Adjusting Tracking on a VCR
- Looking for a job in the classifieds
- Adjusting the antenna on a TV
- Remembering passwords (although not quite obsolete)
- Spelling (also not quite obsolete)
- Tearing apart pages from a computer print out (also removing the spooling paper on the sides!)
- Changing the ribbon on a typewriter
- MS-DOS commands
Until next time…
