Classic commercials that offer "future technology solutions" often look ridiculous when read back a few decades later.
Honeywell 70s Ads (I don't know the exact year) offers electronic mail (email) technology as a future automated office solution - but is available for today. Complete with illustration a letter came as fast as lightning:
This is complete text of the print ads:
Electronic mail is a term that's been banded about data processing circles for years. Simply put, it means high speed information transformation.
One of the most advanced methods is terminals talking to one another. Your mailbox is the terminal on your desk. Punch a key and today's correspondence and messages are displayed instantly.
Need to notify people immediately of a fast-breaking development? Have your messages delivered to their terminal mailboxes electronically, across the hall or around the world. Electronic mail is document distribution that's more timely, accurate and flexible than traditional methods There's no mountin of paperwork. Administrative personnel are more effective. Managers have access to more up-to-date information. Decision-making is easier.
Tomorrow's automated office will clearly include Electronic Mail. But like the rest of the Office of the Future, it's available at Honeywell today.
