1979 Blunt Office Workers Reveal What It Was Like Behind The Scenes

It was really an amazing moment for me as a documentary filmmaker. I was traveling around the country interviewing people about information overload, how much paper was being used in their offices, and other issues involved with the dawn of the computer age. Most office workers and corporate executives (both are presented in this clip) had not really been asked these questions and therefore they shared what they were experiencing and what they saw coming - paper overload - early computers - more information - more overload. I was filming at the end of the industrial age in the dawn of the information age. The result created a one hour prime time television special called The Information Society. Almost all Americans did not have a personal computer and did not see behind the scenes, how computers were taking over so many traditional office jobs. I doubt that today any corporation would let independent filmmakers ask blunt questions and get blunt answers without a PR person watching every word spoken. I have posted other clips from the outtakes of this film should you be interested in seeing more from this time – 1979.
