      Keith Ferrer was seven years old the first time he saw a typewriter. He asked his mother if they could take it home. The answer was no, but that didn’t stop his interest in the outdated device. https://bit.ly/typewriter-comeback …pic.twitter.com/jzTlNUh912

          Why are typewriters suddenly trending? Is it nostalgia – a desire to return to a simpler, less distracted time? Or is there something we’ve been missing about that clack and clatter, that slide and bell, something more tactile in this digital age? https://bit.ly/typewriter-comeback …pic.twitter.com/RbPMsVHNbX

          Ironically, the comeback of typewriters has been aided by the very technology that replaced them in the first place. The internet is a vast place to buy, sell and share resources. https://bit.ly/typewriter-comeback …pic.twitter.com/Q49bbUf5jw
