Essex people talk about the effect of changes in technology on their home and working lives.
There are examples from the shop floor at Marconi, the Ford car assembly line and the printing and publishing industries. Contributors describe their offices from the strict regime of the 1950s typing pool to the first huge computers.
People also speak about the introduction of home computing, video recorders and automated telephone answering.
