The Modern Office from 1981! Just look at those vintage computers and machines. It's hard to believe that a modern office was like this once! We'll be having a chat with some of the staff that work in an office environment. Made in 1981 and recorded here in the Autumn Term 1984. Continuity includes Follows Shortly Slide with Music and Daytime On 2 Ident. From my own personal collection of video tapes. Uploaded for educational purposes only.

Omg I’m in This video! A friend of mind came across it. I’d completely forgotten about it! I was 27. 37 years ago!

Very cool! Time stamp? Happy almost 40th! 😉 Edit: I can’t math apparently lol.

I'm watching this at work. Evidently, our productivity has faltered somewhat over the years.

"As a lot of the company's paperwork is confidential, one of Julie's jobs is to make sure the unwanted papers are destroyed ..." However, if you are Mrs Williams of 81 Quintrell Ave. Portchester, HANTS, we'll film your details along with your Southern Gas account number ... 🙄

Those modern offices are amazing. Computers and stuff.

This was so interesting! Thanks for uploading. So much had changed in 40 years. I wonder what these people would think of us all working from home using Zooms and Teams.

Interesting that everyone speaks without using a load of filler words.

That theme tune is so good ! I wish they'd release it

Can't believe they included Copy by Japanese New Wave band Plastics.

It's funny watching this 40 years on, now most of this looks antiquated.

Julie and I in the post room … phwoar! Apart from that she told me that her job was good training in trolley pushing for when we visited Sainsbury’s after work to buy our crispy pancakes for tea. Mmm … lovely!

They were still using typewriters and it was nearly the 90s. Wow

@markofsaltburn Год назад

I learned how to touch type on a manual typewriter at secretarial college in the 1990s. I’m not sure if they still use them, but it’s the best way to start. I had to demonstrate my accuracy on paper before I could graduate to electric.

Oooo...it's all a bit too modern and technical for me! I wish those trendy frocks were in the shops when I went to work in an office .

Why is it hard to believe!!!! Everything has to start somewhere. Even with technology there is an evolution.

@safirahmed Месяц назад

Tomorrows World had an programme in 1969 that mentioned computers on desks within 15 years. Similar news in the 2020s mean AI and quantum computing being available as mobile devices within a much shorter time period before 2035.

What is the theme music to this programme, dose anybody know?

@geologick 2 года назад

It's a song called Breakaway, by Frank Mills

@lancechinnian4043 2 года назад

That's a great track by Frank Mills but it's not the theme music (heard at 1m 23s). Does anybody know what it's called pls?

@Pinkdolly1000 2 года назад

Companies in the past invested in money in order to implement staff in canteens. I believe presently there are certain large corporate office blocks that still have restaurants implemented within buildings. This is not unusual.
