Did you ever use a typewriter? 🤔

Not you under 25's, you wouldn't know anything that doesn't use electricity or batteries 🤨

I took a typewriter to college because we were too poor for a word processor.

@summersong oh! And I used a typewriter recently too, filling out stock certificates 😆

I've only played with one when i was very little because my grandma had it.
I think i tried investigating it too, like opening up the ribbon change thingy or something, cant remember clearly i was too tiny

We had one downstairs when I was a kid, it had like a modern computer looking kind of keyboard but connected to a typewriter machine thingy.
Yes my dad had one for a while because he likes to buy junk 😅 but yea that was an opportunity to play with it when I was like 8 or 9 and that was a lot of fun 😊

I’ve used one but only because my grandparents had one and I liked to play with it when we’d visit them. :)

I repaired IBM Selectrics back in 1981.

@Pfuzylogic Was that back when typewriters still used sanskrit?

@Allelse
They had exchangeable balls with different fonts so it is possible.

I used one in college, but not much since then. It has been years since I touched one.

Yes but not for official matters. My family's lab used to have one when I was younger
LunarOrbit · 56-60, M
Yup. Took typing in highschool. And I owned one.

I sucked at it
ChiefJustWalks · 26-30
Yeah I used these all the time back in '85

I used this weird thing once that was a word processing machine/computer with a built in printer. It was like a digital typewriter for typewriter snobs that didn't want to get a real computer in the 80s.

Having a type writer must had been annoying with typos
Sidewinder · 36-40, M
@empanadas Yeah, no way to erase. XD
