I love typewriters because for me they're tangible, understandable, mechanical technology. Unlike an iPhone, or even a computer, I can wrap my bubble of a brain around how it works. I'm now the proud owner of 23 typewriters and can tell you stories, and anecdotes about each design, manufacturing, and origin.
- ripsawridge 9y agoIt's strange how much fun it can be to spend an evening with a well-built mechanical tool, long forgotten by the rest of the world. I've got a portable ("laptop," LOL) Swissa Piccola machine that I just love, and a bigger 1937 Olympia whose keys feel fantastic.
