Typewriter Nostalgia

Prediction: my teen daughter digs out my typewriters, Daddy why don't you use these?, thinks her retro technology is cool -- except that we've already been nostalgic for the typewriter. Or at least the writers among us, for whom the noisy clank equaled work, its silence death.

The house will explode with the sounds of TYPING!

Hormonal furies.

Me: smiling.

Excellent prediction: this has already happened at a friend's house.

Time to buy stock in Smith-Corona?
