I would state this....if you removed all computers from every single US gov’t office, went to simple old-fashioned IBM-limited memory typewriters, gave each person his own “memory-stick”, and limited email/browsing to one module unit for each twenty-five people, you’d get more real production and less time with people facebooking and googling throughout the day.
The Germans may discover that no one in Europe makes typewriters anymore. I believe there’s two or three companies in China, and maybe one in Mexico still making them. I know you can buy a brand-new typewriter for roughly $120 off the GSA site (I had to buy one five years ago for my unit).
I’m sure if they came back into vogue they’d be cranking them out again in no time.
