Productivity tools from the past [Productivity in Context]

Stephen, thanks for the opportunity to write on your blog. I may not be an expert on personal productivity, but I’ve been around long enough to know this: no matter how unproductive you may feel at the moment, 10, 20, 30 years ago you would have been in much worse shape! If you’re not old enough to remember what conducting business was like in the past, or if you just want to stroll down memory lane, please check my post from last year, Unwinding the Clock of Innovation. What do you think? Were the old days a better, simpler time — or not so much?

…relics from the past …

1. The Telex machine. Used to transmit messages across wires, like a telegraph. We had one in our office. When it kicked in, it made the office sound like the old newspaper rooms you’d see in the movies.

2. Adding machines. When I joined the workforce, they looked like this, not like this. Not much computing power, and come to think of it not much styling, either.
