That's the thing about business ... some fall by the way. So you and your grandfather may have shopped at Marshall Fields. But the business landscape changes.
It's not a bad thing. Jobs are still created and filled.
I still have my old typewriter in the office. It's time to get rid of it. That's a good thing.
Aw, I like old typewriters. Yeah, I know they're not exactly practical for much but envelopes, but they're such a wonderful reminder of the days when many companies in the U.S. actually had the ability to produce good quality mechanical machinery. Even adjusting for inflation, how many companies would have the ability to produce a functional mechanical typewriter for less than ten times what one would have cost in 1980?
