they went to the library and checked out books, they went to parks and played baseball and stuff, they assembled model airplanes and painted them, they played touch football in the streets, they watched lousy tv shows like 'I Loathe Lucy,' they drove to relatives' houses while Glen Campbell songs played on the car radio, they cleaned out the chicken coop they kept in the backyard...etc etc etc

lawyer in my office suite is boomer historically black college type dude, doesnt use computer. I peak in his office sometimes. African masks and ebony statues, more gold paint than a trump property, million framed pictures of him with obscure politicians, and he's sitting there, dressed to the absolute nines, behind a clean desk just staring into space

It's fascinating to read about "databases" before computers. A scribe would have two tables of figures and would perform the corresponding calculations in another table, like matrices. Also they would use notched pieces of paper to select something from a set that had certain characteristics and not others.

Pre-computer graphic design is also pretty cool.

people just called each other on their home phone numbers hoping they'd be home and just trusted each other to show up somewhere at an agreed upon time that was only discussed days maybe even weeks in advance.

really a charming if inefficient time.

There were a ton of people who just typed (previous to that copied by hand) documents, ran calculations for accounting etc. A word processor was a person, not a machine. Book keeper was a huge occupation.

There were filing systems which were truly amazing in scale (the British especially) where someone would look in a “card catalog” and then march into a warehouse and pull whatever you needed. Things could be filed under multiple key words so sometimes things would be impossible to find or get lost or, you know, the warehouse would burn down.

Yes, a lot of mid century US skyscrapers were actually built to store files for banks and insurance companies. The amount of paper postwar America was producing, consuming, and moving around was staggering.

Typing pools wee a thing. A room or series of huge rooms full of women on typewriters. The clacking and clanging got so loud people needed ear plugs.

There were always jobs because this process was so labor-intensive and there was minimal competition for jobs because it just wasn't possible to find out about jobs in a certain area unless you physically went there. Want ads cost money and were only a small part of the picture.

I remember using rotary phones in early childhood. And things in public spaces were cleaner.

Newspaper and TV were the main entertainment. My dad would read several newspapers at his office each day.

Boredom wasn't really that bad. What I don't miss is the lack of information. It was almost impossible to find out about anything that are a couple clicks away today.
