A pen combo that convert written text into typing text. From the ads, I think the device can also send the message for you.
The pen cost $15.
I don't know if sending that email cost anything. Unclear if it hook into your fax line or internet line or their own network.
I think the ad is just claiming the pen will still be working when the future brings write-to-text technology into your home, not that the pen itself will do this.
Most definitely what the ad is conveying.
I wish we could go back to these old timey ads that took time and effort to appreciate. I can imagine myself using that pen, it’s even kind of soothing. Not like the in your face quick hit cheap thrill stuff we have nowadays.
oh, right. Cool, i just delve into the text ads again. Intersting ads. Really good written ads.
But too bad in 2004, the technology that instant send message as you done written is not common yet. I am not sure if it exist in 2004, but I am sure it is not common. We still use fax mostly, like, until 2010s
And it will still be moist!
I get it's an ad for a pen, but it's kinda funny that writing on paper was more futuristic to them than typing it out on something like a typewriter.
Agreed.
i think the ad is deliberately misleading old people at the time into thinking it's something more than a pen that's just like any other damn pen
if old peoples' gullibility today is any indication, it probably worked back then too
I think the machine is the hook for young people to start reading the ads. Old people are resist to change and resist to technology. Add fancy technology to the ads does not impress old people.
does not impress old people.
i agree, except in cases where old people need to buy a gift for their grandkids "hey, here's a pen that's also newfangledy sciencey stuff! grandkids will love this!!"
For sharing images of vintage magazine ads, fliers, promos, etc.
We're going to play it pretty loose with timeframe here so please don't get offended anyone :)
