It's not surprising that many people don't know what a typewriter is any longer. At least in the US, many young people today can't tell time by looking at a clock with hands, or make change without reading the total on a cash register or using a calculator. Then again, many people in my generation can't cut or write with a quill, saddle a horse, or load a muzzle-loading rifle.
“Don’t be too harsh to these poems until they’re typed.
I always think typescript lends some sort of certainty:
at least if the things are bad then, they appear to be bad with conviction.”
~ Dylan Thomas
