| I believe everyone can find their individual reason to love the typewriter, You have to try it more than once to find yours to start the love affair! |
There is a reason why the more classic generation of bodybuilders and hardcore gym enthusiasts swear by the golden exercises – if you cannot squat, deadlift or bench-press until you have exhausted every joint and ligament, you are not likely to achieve the aesthetic or power gains. The somewhat similar psychology applies to using the typewriter. It is rudimentary as compared to the contemporary keyboard. Trusting forearm credentials of the user and with high morals of demanding more practice hours from you, the typewriter is unapologetic about its archaic form. I had a very unusual interest in typewriters at one point of time. This was not academic or due to a sadist preference of testing myself. The attractiveness was purely due to the contrast of technology, the silhouette very retro, the vibes aged like wine, and then this aura of silence, as if the typewriter was like some monk challenging you to break his/its peace of mind.
