Communications In the past, communication was handled with the technology of that time. Multiple letter copies were made with carbon paper or a hectograph (A gelatin tray and a purple-inked master was good for about 20 copies.) The new mimeograph quickly surpassed that with multiple copies made by cranking the drum. The Thermofax copied on special paper and lasted 7 years before fading away. Then the fax and computers appeared along with the internet, e-mail, cell phones, networking, and other tools. Now people are linked with websites, You Tube, Twitter, texting, etc. The world is at our fingertips on our keyboard and with other high-tech tools never imagined 80 years ago. I kind of miss the “personal touch” - telephone calls on a party line with someone yelling, “GET OFF THE LINE!” Raben Real Estate 401 - 3rd St. Rapid City, SD 57701 rapidcityrealestate
