I graduated college in 1987 (when the letter was first published.) I was probably the last generation to bring a typewriter. My freshman year I typed term papers on an old Smith-Corona. By my senior year, I was writing on a Commodore64 and printing on a dot-matrix printer (at the computer lab.) I also bought my first computer (Amiga 500!) that same year. This letter hasn't aged well obviously, but it wasn't a completely unreasonable position at that very brief point in time. Reminds me of the 1998 Paul Krugman quote https://quoteinvestigator.com/2023/10/26/internet-fax/ https://quoteinvestigator.com/2023/10/26/internet-fax/ about how the internet will be as impactful as the fax machine.
