The Latest Technology

Back when dinosaurs still roamed the Earth, technology was trying to catch up with human needs. Wishes were thrown into the air begging the gods to relieve the strain on our hands from using the old fashioned method of chisel to rock.  Then came the ballpoint pen and paper (okay, I skipped a few eras).  It wasn't long before the gods looked down and said "let there be typewriters". Hundreds of years later, the invention of this thing called "electricity" made people wonder.  "My hands ache from typing on a non-electric typewriter.  Perhaps someone could take the power of electricity and combine it with a typewriter." And then it was so. Yes, you lovely people in your 20's and 30's, prior to a little company called "Apple", there was the historic invention of The Electric Typewriter, and it was good.  It could hold up to 1,500 characters (less than an average comment today) in it's memory and could set margins, center your text and more, by the power of "automatically".  And it was portable.  Think of it as a producer of a blog, only on paper. So as you run off to check the next blog, remember us Neanderthals of the mid-century, and the rocks and paper we used to communicate.  You have it soooooo easy.
