Cubicles – The Documentary

This is the first documentary I made back in film school. As you can see, my fascination with offices has been around for quiet a while.

If you’ve been wondering where cubicles came from, how they affect the way we work, and where office design is going in the future (and I know you have), then look no further, all your answers lie above.

You can check out more short films on office design at the Cubicles Film YouTube Channel.

Writing on a manual [typewriter] makes you slower in a good way, I think. You don’t revise as much, you just think more, because you know you’re going to have to retype the entire fucking thing. Which is a big stop on just slapping anything down and playing with it.
- Will Self

TypewriterReading the title you can probably guess what this program can do, or more what it can’t do. The above quote got me thinking about the process of writing on a typewriter and I was surprised to not be able to find any program that could mimic that interaction.

So on a whim I ran with this weird idea and turned to Elance, where I found Denis Sokol in Russia and he created this program.

It’s super, super simple and basic. All you can do is type in one direction. You can’t delete, you can’t copy, you can’t paste. You can save and print. And you can switch between black text on white and green on black; full screen and window.

The program runs through Java, so it should work on any operating system, but make sure you have the latest version of Java here. Feel free to share, modify, and post the program however you like. All I ask is that you please reference this site with a link either directly to this post or the site (http://www.lifehackingmovie.com).

Hope you enjoy and let me know what are you thoughts are on using it.
