Published 6 years ago

Modern technology made many professions obsolete – but that is the price of progress. However, some technologies actually made peoples’ jobs easier. Up until 1982, drafters used to do all of their plans by hand – but then came AutoCAD. About 12 years later, it was already being used worldwide and made drawing plans by hand a thing of the past. Huge tables and many measuring tools were no longer required – all you needed was a computer.

Check out a collection of vintage pictures of drafters creating plans by hand in the gallery below!

One day, this guy just kind of figured - "I spend most of my time on the internet anyway, why not turn it into a profession?" - and he did! Now he not only gets to browse the latest cat videos and fresh memes every day but also shares them with people all over the world, making sure they stay up to date with everything that's trending on the web. Some things that always pique his interest are old technologies, literature and all sorts of odd vintage goodness. So if you find something that's too bizarre not to share, make sure to hit him up!
