In retrospect, I wrote about the tools (tools) used at that time and the external memory capacity unit length which continues to increase.
"I remember the analog era of design work.
List the tools at that time, it is a corner entrance, round pen, oil grindstone, face brush, flattened, poster color, color marker, lot ring, paper cement, rubber cleaner, thinner dispenser, tweezers, cutter, cutter mat.
Drafter, Compass, Divider Compass, Counting Scale, T Ruler, Triangle Ruler, Cloud Ruler, Elliptical Ruler, Circular Ruler, Sheddler's Sharpen, MONO Eraser, Flapping, Trescope, Paper Burner, Light Box, Diazo Copier, Color Copy Machine, Quick Copy, Illock, Tracing Paper, Drawing Pads, Mount for Drawing, Pantone, Inleta, Screen Tone.

Second-hand phototypes SPICA, outsourced phototypes were SK3RY and PAVO. Finally it will be electronic computing photographed output.

In Q number designation, in case of type, number and point designation, DIC color sample book, CMYK color sample book, red signpens and color pencils were also indispensable.
Word processor from Toshiba RUPO to the canon.

Perhaps you do not know the designers in their twenties.

The PC that I first touched was Hitachi Personal Computer "Basic Master Level 3".
After that I bought NEC's PC 9801, but the OS is Microsoft MS-DOS 3.3 B.
The installed Windows version was 2.1.
5 inch floppy disk 2 drives and 20 MB (megabytes). At that time 1 MB was approximately 10,000 yen.

The set of dot impact printer exceeded 1 million yen.
However, it can not be used at all at work, it is used for office work of slip issue and database creation.
I long forgot that 1 GB (gigabyte) HD was on sale for 1 million yen.

At that time personal computer communication using a telephone line.
Today digitized, communication capacity and speed have greatly improved, and it became possible to send and receive a large amount of data, but at that time it was the era of "Pyohyoro" by analog communication.
It takes time to transfer, aiming at reducing the time by pulling the ISDN line.

After that, I saw Apple 's Macintosh and received a culture shock, and a set of "SE", "IIci", a laser monochrome PS printer, a 19 - inch monitor, a graphic board that delivers 16.7 million colors, a scanner, investment.
At that time ApplePC was very expensive.

However, as a pioneer and sometimes used, it was a good time that the former took off quickly.

The era of DTP that makes use of Illustrator and Photoshop begins, "technology" of enlarging / reducing characters and images is replaced with "operation" which anyone can do with PC and software.

After that, it continued to increase the number of employees as many as "Quadra 950" "Performa" "Power Macintosh 7220" "Power Mac G4" "PowerBook G4" "Macbook Pro" transition.

Windows has also replaced a lot from 95 to 98, Millenniumu Edition, XP, Vista, 7, 8, up to current 10.

Both the PC and the printer have changed from the old days and the external storage medium (removable media) is also used as a cassette tape, FD (floppy disk), MO, USB flash memory, CD-ROM, DVD, Blu-ray Disc, SSD has changed, the capacity has increased, the price has also been reduced.

Today 1000 GB = 1 TB (terabytes), has become the mainstream of built-in HDD. External HD is a chain system and can be increased any number.

Then,
1000 TB is 1 PB (petabytes),
1000 PB = 1 EB (exabyte),
1000 EB = 1 ZB (zettabite)
In this way Zettabyte is comparable to the number of innumerable sand grains scattered around the world.
And the last unit is 1000 EB = 1 YB (yota byte),
One, ten, one hundred, one thousand, ten thousand, one hundred million, one trillion, one hundred kilometers (Kei), one hundred men, one hundred men.
In terms of bytes, it is 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000.

It will be an unimaginable capacity, and I will not be disappointed.

Although it is a serpent, the units above 秭 (じ ょ) are 穰, grooves, 澗, positive, ___ poster, pole, pole, ganga Sha), Ajo-gi (Ashigagi), Nasuke other (Nayuta), Wonder (Fu Shashigi) Abundance large number (Muso soup)

Why is the unit closer to Buddhist teachings?

It was a story of a graphic designer 's analog age, but if there is a missing description it would be great if you could put a penetration! "

The tools of the remaining analog age are cutter and cutter mat only.

Current tools.
PC "Power Mac G4" (because many old fonts are included).
"Macbook Pro" "Macbook Air" "Windows 10" I am working with scanners, digital cameras, color printers.
I use most of the PC, but the world has changed really!

Image is paper cement and dispenser, thinner dispenser.
It was a pasted world in the past, but this tool had disappeared before it unexpectedly.

Follow me!
