Found a prompt generator from 1968 and it's wild

Last week at a flea market in Portland I picked up an old book called '1000 Story Starters' from 1968 and the prompts are so different than what we use now. One of them says 'write about a man who loses his job to a computer' which feels like a time capsule. Has anyone else found old writing resources that made you rethink how you approach prompts?

50 years really changes things, @ellis.susan.
