Happy 50th Birthday Jokes

Did you know that the photocopier, the original Xerox turns 50 this year? Me either (perhaps because he is older than me). Reading a recent article by CNN reminded me the smell of the mimeograph machine, we received copies of primary school, and being blinded by the flash bulb in my copiers libraries colleges and universities, which warms my hands on hot new copies of the Xerox machine on my first corporate job. Oh, and I'm sure many of you are familiar with the frustrations of copier instantly become a mechanic when the machines failed.

All great things come to an end ... and it is time for the copier (not companies that produce them) to go the way of the dinosaurs. The hulking mass of metal, plastic, glass, wire, circuit miles of precious metals and waste paper and ink toner can simply disappear, Chief Executive Officer effective will not be sad. Not one minute. The joke in my company, "Rich print a document?!? Are you ???". Serious Why print when you can read a screen. Why duplicate when you can share electronically. Why deal with the paper when you can do everything online.

Wish a happy birthday "to copy and send it to a happy retirement. Thank you Xerox for many wonderful innovations that you helped design, build and bring to market. Our civilization could honestly have progressed without you! It is great to see that Xerox and many competitors are doing more to end the paper by automating and also recognize the value of the retirement of their first invention.

Thank you for reading.
