My older cousin had a typewriter. That was the first and only time I had seen it. I enjoyed typing on it. I thought it was a fabulous machine that helped me "print", like a book.

I'm 28 and I own 5 typewriters and use them from time to time for creative writing excercises. Got the first one when I was 12 from a friend, when his parents wanted to throw them away. For us it had the feeling of old spy movies. It stayed at my parents house for quite a while and I forgot about it but found it again in my early 20s when I was very interested in vintage technology and writing itself. I looked for them on the german version of craigslist wnd payed 0-20€ for each, all working fine and looking good. The oldest model I own is from the 1930s, the youngest from the early 80s.

Best typewriter I ever had the pleasure of using was the IBM Selectric, w/ the type ball you could change for different languages or fonts. Smooth and quick, I've witnessed someone type at just over 200 WPM on one. My personal best was well under 100 WPM. I was certified to repair those Selectrics and made good money working on them before the word processors made them obsolete. Anyone remember the Mag-card writers? An attempt at a hard drive-esque system that failed miserably.

The selectric ball print head was THE solution to mangled mechanical keys that also limited the speed of the operator. Had these in HS typing class. I forget if it had an “eraser” feature, a white ribbon. Thanks

Not all computer keyboards use the QWERTY layout. Because computers are electronic devices, it is possible to use different layouts for the keyboard. Personally, I believe that the Dvorak layout is superior to the QWERTY, as it was researched by a scientist trying to create the best layout for the typist. The QWERTY was the best layout for the typewriter, forcing the typist to switch hands on almost every keystroke, which reduced the chance that the keys would get tangled up. Computer operating systems have the ability to change the keyboard layout electronically, so that pressing a key will mean different things depending on the layout selected. Rearranging the key caps is optional, but I like being able to see the letters on the keys the way they will be used.

At this point, it's impossible to convince people to change to Dvorak. It's like someone tries to introduce a revised English language to speak English in simpler manner. But that means we have to unlearn a language that is spoken by billions of people.

@@scottholman3982 They may learn to prefer it, but that doesn't change the fact that QWERTY is astronomically more dominant in a professional, and even a casual, setting. Virtually all computer keyboards and mobile devices default to QWERTY, so while Dvorak may technically be a better layout, it's unlikely to ever dethrone QWERTY. It's far more likely an entirely new input method replaces keyboards altogether than Dvorak becoming the dominant, or even a seriously competing, keyboard layout.

Lies! In 1861, during the National Exhibition in Rio de Janeiro, visitors were amazed by a different kind of machine, which made it possible to print shorthand symbols just by pressing keys. The invention remained on display for 44 days, and it was one of the nine awarded a gold medal, out of the 1,136 that took part. A priest from the State of Paraíba, Francisco João de Azevedo (1814-1880), the inventor of the shorthand machine, ended up transforming it, by a few simple modifications, into a typewriter. But the laurels and the patent were reaped by an American, Christopher Latham Sholes. And Azevedo found a place in the hall of wronged inventors, along with Santos Dumont (airplane) and Landel de Moura (radio). Americans need to stop stealing inventions from another countries!

I’ll agree-we all are proud of the machines we’re able to use. Our pride can get in the way of consideration of others. I can use a little of all of it, certainly none of it am I a virtuoso. My brag would be in that I have been exposed to everything from the earliest typewriters to the last cell phones. But again I am not the best user of any of these devices. And I am 52 years old.

As a 52 year old, I take it to mean, “okay, whatever you say, old person. Now you gotta admit that this is just one way that the younger folks are rebelling against the elder folks, as we ALL have done. In my case, it was the silent generation into the early baby boomers. Now I have more of a reverence for my elders (most of them anyway, except the ones who would have been nasty at any generational level.)
