Google in 1960

By on October 20, 2012 in Humor

If it was the 1960s and I started Google, it would work something like this:

1. I’d advertise in the back of Popular Science magazine.
2. Users would send in a self addressed, stamped envelope.
3. I’d send back a postcard, like the one above, on which they’d enter their search query, check the appropriate boxes and then mail back to me.

Boy, times have changed. I doubt that anyone under 30 even knows what a SASE is anymore.

    wow, it is weird to think of google ever being that way. And to see their message of “please allow 30 day’s for results” that is just very weird.

    That’s funny. But the pedant in me points out that Amphitheatre Parkway surely didn’t exist in the 1960s, as the amphitheater for which it is named wasn’t built until the 1980s.
