They should put a more recent picture up as a comparison to the changes.

At first she did not look like a kid. I had to zoom in.

At first I hated it. But now I love it. He seems a pillar of strength in a working dad kind of way. She seems like she's trying really hard to understand what this boring job entails. All around the accoutrements of early 1970s office life in an iconic yet doomed skyscraper. A beautiful moment captured.

No potato batteries at least.

Damn this looks depressing

Wow, an analog phone and not a single computer in sight. As a guy who works in IT , this is a beautiful sight to see.

I'm now 25 years into my IT career and the older I get the more I understand those former co-workers who retired and just wanted to fuck off, go fishing, and never look at another computer.

As an engineer seeing a drafting table behind him fills me with dread.

[–] Deepus@lemm.ee 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Really? As a fellow keyboard monkey it scares the shit out of me!

A simpler time where every god damn thing wasn't computerized and generating metrics to track every aspect of your life.

[–] Deepus@lemm.ee 1 points 2 years ago

Persoanlly i'll take being tracked over not having computers. But each to their own.

As a guy who works in IT , this is a beautiful sight to see.

It certainly makes your life a lot easier if the employees don't have any computers!

Math is hard. I won't delete my comment though as you should all find joy in my stupidity.

[–] bstix@feddit.dk 3 points 2 years ago

The picture was taken closer to the construction of the pyramids than what we are today.

Don't worry, in five years, you'll not only be proven correct, your prediction will hold eternally. That's rare!

Is he jerking off or what?

[–] AlteredStateBlob@kbin.social 3 points 2 years ago

That's his knee, he's got his leg across the other, not his hand down his pants.

[–] southsamurai@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 years ago

Yes, with aggressive eye contact at that!

The 70s were a different time.
