‘Quip Is Bringing The Word-Processing Era To Its End’ – ‘ReadWrite’
The latest post on ‘ReadWrite’ is titled “Quip Is Bringing The Word-Processing Era To Its End”.
Michael Tchong says, “That word processor you use at the office? It was designed in the early ’80s, when the first version of Microsoft Word shipped. While revision after revision of this prehistoric technology have been released, all are modeled after a world long forgotten—a world of 8.5×11 paper, carriage returns, and ink ribbons.
The same is true for spreadsheets and databases, core productivity tools that trace their history even further back to the ’70s. As the founder of MacWeek, I saw this early wave of innovation crest—and then crash to a halt. I had almost given up hope that I would ever see true innovation in the productivity-software category again”.
