And, yes, it s true, I m writing this article in praise of typewriters on a magical, soulless computer. I d have it no other way. How easily I move the workings of my brain to my fingers, to the monitor, to you. No Whiteout , no flying T s, no fingers gritty with ink. The computer is multitasking.
Typewriters can t multitask.
They can only mono-task. A key is struck and a letter is created on paper. A key is struck again and another letter is created. One letter after another. That s it.
