What was previous to a BLOG

I had someone ask what we used BEFORE the BLOG ...

Most recently we used e-mail-- we would add items to a word processor page and when we have a few - would copy and paste into e-mail and send out -- we have 90% of all staff on e-mail. Previous to that - we would print the page once full and pass out to be signed as read. And previous to that - we would have a piece of paper and use a type writer - again once full- would copy and pass out to saff to sign and pass on. The type writer has been retired since 1984 - not sure exactly where it went?

It is has always been an important issue to communicate items - often for a 2nd time --to make sure they remember the points. Today we actively promote the idea that new things and good idea's need to be told to us THREE TIMES by THREE DIFFERENT PEOPLE in THREE DIFFERENT WAYS ... to make sure it sinks in. Told once just doesn't seem to be enough.
