Information Archaeologists and a Futurist's Desk

Today in Twitter land...

WorldFutureSoc Archaeologists should study the desk drawer I'm cleaning out: Rolodex cards, plastic file tabs, Post-It fax notes, lots of dead rubber bands

WorldFutureSoc: ...desiccated crumbs of cranberry muffins, reading glasses Elton John would consider OTT... What's a #futurist w/o longitudinal data?

WorldFutureSoc: ...ooo, a Pantone chip: C=0 Y=65 M=90 K=20 ;-) my favorite color!

WorldFutureSoc: ... two sticks of Beemans! SCORE!!

WorldFutureSoc: Sorry, @paleofuture, I had to throw out the extra floppy disk labels I just found. They were nasty. ;-)

WorldFutureSoc: I have no idea what these little keys go to, but I'm afraid to throw them away.

WorldFutureSoc: Paperclips, re-recycled for years RT @fayfeeney My #bizrelic: Redi-reply memos - triple copies w/ carbon paper. What's yours?

WorldFutureSoc: Found another Pantone chip: C=100 Y=0 M=90 K-40 We love our primary colors here at The Futurist magazine!

WorldFutureSoc:
Okay, desk drawer cleaned. (Sort of.) Worst crud: the mess from a bottle of Wite-Out that leaked. Yuck.

WorldFutureSoc: Best finds: two 29-cent Elvis stamps, a loupe, T-square, protractor, compass, and one of those little curvy things for drawing curves.

WorldFutureSoc:
So concludes the tweet-story of a #futurist cleaning a desk and finding the history of the Information Age. Thank you, thank-you-very-much!

love, hosaa,
dreading cleaning out the filing cabinets next
