The world-first Japanese word processor, 630 yen

1. World Class Company – exhibition center tour – TOSHIBA 130 years anniversary exhibition ④

TOKYO, Japan (AVING Special Report on 'World Class Brand in Japan') -- <Visual News> In the exhibition of TOSHIBA 130th anniversary, you can see a lot of the world-first products launched by TOSHIBA.

The world-first Japanese word processor cost 630 yen in 1978. Japanese workers were paid about 10,000 yen at that time. So you can image how expensive it was. Likewise, the first color TV in Japan cost 520,000 yen which was almost tantamount to 52 months salary of Japanese worker at that time.
