Typewriters ? Carbon paper ? Mimeograph ? Rotary phones ? A Secretary who could take shorthand ?
An Answering service ? Orange CRT monitors ? Elevator operators ?
Remember any of these ?

There's something to be said for old tech: if done right, it can last centuries. Title/deed documents, contracts, constitutions, etc. are best put to something more permanent than the latest document file format! And a good typewriter might last you decades rather than the latest upgrade cycle for say, Apple's gadgets.
