Inventology: How We Dream Up Things That Change the World | 
"Typing machines belonged to women and computers to men. So asking an executive to sit at a keyboard was like expecting him to cook a pot roast" ? Crazy to think that this is how men regarded one of the first consumer marketed computers.
BooksTeasAndBookishThings Wow. I used to follow a page on FB that would do a lot of posts about actual advertisements/pamphlets in the past and one was how to be a good Wife... You wouldn't believe what they expected. It also had how to be a good Husband, and it said, no joke, that if all else fails: spank her. "She will appreciate your firm hand in guiding her. After all, your job is to make sure she does her job." 8y
Dooplum @BooksTeasAndBookishThings 😦 What?! That is absolute craziness! 8y
BooksTeasAndBookishThings Right?? I wish I could remember what the page was, but when the new FB settings happened and it basically cut off over half of your feed, I didn't realize they weren't showing up anymore and now I can't remember what their page was called. Something about wisdom from the past... I don't know, but I bet there is some place dedicated online to all of those old "how to" pamphlets. 8y
