My 1961 Underwood portable typewriter. |
I learned there is an anti modern trend, an anti-culture of preteens and college students who are newly discovering typewriters and are fascinated by them. I recall seeing a typewriter for sale a year or so ago in western Pennsylvania and being amazed, "who'd buy that." Oh what a surprise to read of the new appreciation. There are some bloggers out there in the typosphere, "Adventures in Typewriterdom" is but one mentioned in the magazine article. Typosphere, a new word, I love that.
Notice the lovely golden ears that supported the paper up as I typed. |

Fascinating about typewriters; they still have a place in my heart. In high school I had to take a typing course, which prepared me for typing papers in college. My dad was a newspaper editor and sports columnist and always wrote on a typewriter.
ReplyDeleteYes, Terra I think learning typing was a good skill...and to learn today there is a renewed interest even if it is considered anti culture, well, comforting.
