In the May 2021 edition of the Knoxville Bar Association’s DICTA publication, Keith Burroughs explains the technology in his father’s law practice in the 1970’s. Wallace F. Burroughs and his secretary Ms. Clement relied on an IBM Selectric typewriter, a manual postal scale, a rotary telephone, 10-key tape adding machine, and a reel-to-reel tape recorder/player.

Keith states, “it was a simpler time.” As technology continues to change, new future advancements “may very well make today the good ole days.”
