There's really nothing else to compare to the
immediacy of using
a typewriter. These days everything written is transferred into
an electronic ether, to possibly be printed someday, more likely
to just disappear. It's a very 'real' experience to type a page
of thoughts direct to a piece of paper. And it is something that
many people no longer experience.
Hear, hear!
Also, there are times when I have to fill out a form or something else
and its really just *much* more efficient to power on a typewriter and
bang it out in a few seconds than it is to turn on the computer,
launch the editor, type in the text, turn on the printer, print it
out, and then power everything off again.
With the typewriter, its click, whizz whizz whizz (rolling the paper
into place), tappety tappety tap, whizz whizz whizz, click, done.
