HPR 412 Chapter Notes - Chapter 4: Kaypro, Amy Tan
Document Summary
The first page discusses the types and models of word processors on the market in 1981. Describes the initial primary purpose of the internet - e-mail. The first few pages are background information on the history of the word processor. It discusses the types and models of word processors on the market in 1981 on the first page, then delves into the uses. The author tries to explain clearly what it was like during these years by putting it into historical context using magazine and newspaper descriptions, headlines, and news stories of the day. Citing publications such as time, the economist, writer"s digest, etc. seems so vital because the internet didn"t exist yet; this was how people knew what was going on in the world. I found it interesting how magazines would have advertisements for computers and word processors. It"s one of those things that doesn"t seem to need advertisement, like coca-cola.
