typpity type type. with this device, its easy to correct. la la la. i can write whatever pleases me and simply erase it if i so choose. a typewriter? not a chance.. each swift stroke is permanance in ink form. make a statement. or just a word.
like a computer, but exceptionally crafted in simpler times.

as i sit and peck away, i dream about far off lands, and how today, i just may be able to open to windows of those mysterious places to people like me. type away on this simple machine and create pictures so vivid, pictures cant even do them justice. typewriters are powerful. the power of creativity at my fingertips.
I don’t think that typewriters are outdated at all. In fact, I honestly prefer them to other, more modern kinds of recording devices. Though I have to say that my favorite kind is the Underwood. It’s kind of huge and awesome.

the typewrier is an old fshionjed device that was used to take the place of handwriting. Originally tyhe word typewriter referred to the ladies who used the typewriter in their work . Offices had what was known as a typing pool with rows of ladies sitting at their writing machines.

do you remember those days
long days
when people moved more slowly
do you miss those days
long days
when writing moved like the clouds
slow, thoughtful
thoughtless?
as humans,
We all Fall Down
and somewhere up above,
an angel wonders:
What would it be like to fall?
Sage
His hands danced across the typewriter. His book wasn’t going to write itself. Although we live in the age of iPads and voice command, he would never buy a computer. His typewriter was the only way he could write. Joe, why are you so awesome?
Thoughts come and can’t be changed. The clicking is intense. Rings out and slides back to the next line. It’s black. It gleams and so do words.
Wills
a typewriter is important in writing whats on youre mind. Putting youre thoughts to paper is a very important thing in this world. I love typewriters and they are very unique and fun to play around with. It is a great thing to have a typewriter when publishing journals.
Danny
The clack of the keys, the hassle of erasing, the beauty of the letters. I like the small smear by each one, of the action in writing, the commitment to the words, and the finality of each stroke. The satisfaction of pressing down on the keys.
The keys of the typewrite made a satisfying click as she wrote. She wrote everything. Her thoughts, her dreams, her memories. She didn’t know why. But it helped.
Kaci
Click click clack goes the typewriter as the man types away at his masterpiece. He works on it day and night, never accomplishing what he really wants out of it. What he wants more than anything is recognition. To be seen as a legitimate writer, a legitimate soul. When will the world see his genius?
Grant Mayfield
He wants a typewriter
He wants a second job
He wants to come back home
He wants to stay there
He wants to be free
He wants me
He wants to be anyone
Else
a typewriter preceded the internet and keyboard. My parents used typewriters to write their college applications, which I found kinda crazy because I’m a huge personal fan of the “backspace” and “undo” functions. How would I survive without those? I’d have to start over every time I made a mistake. Crazy.

typewriter
it types what you think whether its good or not it doesnt mind what its saying it has no mind it is medium for thoughts and what may become actions. you never know what its going to say next but you do because youre writing it
Grant Mayfield
Joseph pushed his horn-rimmed spectacles up his nose bridge to keep them in place, although unsuccessfully. His fingertips continued to click the circular black buttons on his agely typewriter.
‘My dearest Lilly,’ he wrote, ‘the countryside is vast and green. Quiet, as I always desired for the city to be, albeit lonely without you. I’d trade in the tranquility of this endless grassland for the noise of the rushing city just to see you for a second…’
He paused, as his spectacles slid down his face, again. Looking up, he looked out the dirty window from which a single ray of golden sunshine peeked out. He took out the parchment from the typewriter and balled it in his calloused hands and threw it to the ground before standing up promptly. In a single, fluid movement he opened the front door, grabbed his musky-smelling leather jacket, put on his hat and left the house.

a relic. clacking representative from a bygone era. a chunky, clunky technological terror.

typewriter gave us the computer. it made us able to connect to each other. we feel more as one connecting to other countries. to unify us.

type type type type type…..move the protrusion back.. type type type type type.. move it back again. when will this cycle end. someone needs to create a machine that doesnt need continuous “pushing back”.. come on man!
Noddy Nweke
typewriters are such vintage but cool devices. it is the precursor to the computer, and lacked spellcheck or backspace, so once a mistake was made, it was impossible to erase. therefore users of the typewriter had to be very precise and meticulous in their typing. i believe thats a great “Asset” that modern day people have lost
Noddy Nweke
i think of a vintage store. typewritten pages bring me a sense of nostalgia. i can hear the clicking. decidely different–like a vintage dress. Typewritten on the page.
kathleen
Before computers existed, these were used to write papers. They typically had circular hammer keys. There was no erasing, if you made a mistake.
Kara
The thing I used to type on before I had a computer was called a “typewriter.” I used to run out of ribbon and paper and corrector ribbon at very crucial times. I’m so glad I have a computer now! Just click “save” and no worries.
Amie
I like to type like my grandma in the old days with a thng that has no eraser and is annoyiong to type on. Makes cool noise though. And I dont know what happened to the one we sed to have but I thought it was cool to type on when I was little. I wonder what ben thinks of typewriters. I have never asked him before. Joel would like one and so would dorothy. They would like the sound. I really like the sound of water. We need a sound machine for wen we mov into our new apartment so Joel wont wake up. Ben is annoyed with Joel because he ust woke up.
mary
when i first used the computer there were no typewriters..wait, there were, but i’ve never used one. old people have stories to tell, and i will too when i’m old. typewriters make the best sounds, better than the sound of a keyboard. phonetic white paper setting dinging old time manual analog.
kross
Old buttons sitting on the stairs. Oh, how I long for a shoe shine.

something I cannot comprehend is the typing. A short lived sentence, combinde with many can impact lives. we impact each others thoughts, entering our deepest abyss.
Tracy Koenn
One of my friends has a typewriter.. and I was on it and me and my other friend were typing on it writing weird messages(: It was awesomee.(:
Maybe it’s because they’re old, or because they don’t force you to do anything but write, but i feel as though typewriters have a certain nostalgia and creativity to them.

Typewriters. So simple. So classic. So delicate. So beautiful. This invention is taken for granted during this day in age. I find it sad that this generation of children is losing sight of amazing things, such as the typewriter.
I’m a writer that’s typing on my keyboard, that makes me a typewriter.
Sylvia Lam
People this day in age don’t use typewriters anymore. It is sad that the next generation is losing sight of those “classics.” They resort to computers and blackberrys. It is quite depressing actually.
Taylor Onderko
she started hearing a click clack simular to that of an old fashioned typewriter.the banshee ghosts were taking form of actual elongated ghosts.she felt a strong urge to run,but was totaaly unable to
i had a typewrite that my dad gave to me when i turned 18. I used to wrote everything there. Everyday y sat in front of it and wrote, wrote bout my life, my fantasies, about everything. I even wrote about my dad’s dead
karla
I have this old typewriter. It sits on my desk, next to the very shiny and new laptop. Essays and all the important things get written on that laptop. The typewriter though, that’s all just for me. Because there’s nothing more satisfying than the clack and the click of those old keys, there’s nothing more relaxing than seeing the words appear on the blank paper and knowing I put them there. That they are mine.
Spider
When I was younger, I used to go to church sales all the time with my mom. Once, I found an old typewriter for sale. I thought it was such a treasure. I had always wanted one. Why didn’t I just want something normal, like a doll or some crayons?
Typewriters are not used often. But they sure do sound nice when they type. I feel like if I had one, I would write a lot more often even though I am a lousy writer. but I could hire my friend who is a writer to just type all the time, so I could hear the thyping and she’d have written like 12 books by now./
Kristena Grace
i’ve always wanted one they are really neat and cool looking and have a vintage feel to me
they look fun to use and type stuff with i just really really want one. :)))))))
holly
It is a useful invetion. But a computer is better. I love the noises it makes when you type. Click click. It’s amazing how great spellign and such had to be withs uch inventions. But thank god for spell check! I think I would still own one today. Just to hear the amazing noises! And it feels so empowering.
