Advantages of a Typewriter as Compared to a Computer (for Word Processing)
Note: I am not actually recommending that you replace your computer with a typewriter.
I'm just sayin'...
- On a typewriter, you can type wherever you want on the page without much hassle.
- Typewriters work during power outages and can't be damaged by nearby lightning. (Though if a typewriter were struck directly by lightning, it would not survive. A computer wouldn't either, of course; I'm just stating this for completeness.)
- Typewriters won't run out of battery power.
- Typewriters do not get viruses or spyware.
- Typewriters don't need or security updates.
- You don't have to boot a typewriter before using it.
I recently got a typewriter, an old Underwood No. 5 which was manufactured in 1930. Photos can be found here.
