Frank’s Back to the Future
Frank was perusing an issue of “Inland Printer” from June, 1973, and discovered an article that he had written. In it, he summarized many of the typesetting trends that were taking place at the time as hot metal was transitioning to phototypesetting. Many of the technologies emerging at that time would play increased roles in the printing industry—and lay the groundwork for today.

Right, it wouldn't be until the late 80s that we would get WYSIWYG.
How many of us remember wisywig?
By Dov Isaacs on Aug 21, 2020
You had WYSIWYG by the MID-1980s with the Xerox Star workstation, Interleaf on Sun and Apollo workstations, Aldus PageMaker on MacOS (1985) and Windows (1986), Ventura Publisher (Windows, 1986), etc.
And I remember our (I was heading the project) plans and prototypes in the early 1980s at Wang Labs (how many remember Wang?) for an advanced workstation (not the Z80 with 64k memory and 80 character by 24 line monospace screen specifically to support WYSIWYG edit, display, and output.
The late 1980s was actually more the realm of QuarkXPress (1987).
