Interesting that there is an old style drafting board behind Dyson in the video. About a robot "high tech" vacuum cleaner. Hard to believe that company in particular uses a manual drawing process or why anyone would use that as a prop either.
- brianobush 12y agoI still use pen and paper for writing (and thinking). Also an old fashioned medium, but also a preference to satisfy my occasional Luddite mindset.
- larrys 12y agoI still use paper file folders to organize "deals" that I am working on. Complete with labels and several file carts. However I rigged up a shell routine that grabs the lp printer file on my mac in a way that I can then use spotlight (osx) [1] to instantly find and bring up the pdf so I can also find what I need that way. (And I even have a "fake" printer setup in case I don't want to have an actual paper printout for some reason. [1] So the shell routine looks at the file and determines if it's text file, a .ps (postscript) file, or already .pdf and appends the right suffix so it can be open by clicking and spotlight can search it.

- alayne 12y agoGordon Murray is 68. It's more likely about what he is used to than paper being more effective than CAD. Drafting on paper sounds ridiculous to me.
