Near the end of their popularity, one could buy several of the Daisy wheels, and actually type things... In Different Fonts!

And not to make myself sound prehistoric but the best thing was when typewriters started having a built-in correction tape so that we wouldn't have to use those weird white correction pens or sheets.<br /><br />Yep, I sound prehistoric.

Like, the fact that you couldn't immediately access just about any piece of information just by searching for it online. Or, the fact that you couldn't immediately communicate in writing with someone and send it just that instant. Or make contact with people or groups of people on a whim.<br /><br />Its hard to believe things were so different when I was in high school and college. I almost forget. You actually had to go to the library to look up something. And there would be days you wouldn't be in contact with certain people.<br /><br />Speaking of immediate communication, check out my blog:<br /><br />http://retroawesomeness.blogspot.com/Lazlohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02037087843637735080noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1128978925707271.post-26938000143965843322011-09-22T20:30:16.431-06:002011-09-22T20:30:16.431-06:00Thanks, but I'll take my I Pad.......

Until I found Ton S's blog I dream lo-tech, I didn't realize there are serious collectors of vintage manuals who meet regularly just to TYPE LETTERS...and that there are some gorgeous typewriters out there. Check out the chromed and painted ones at kasbahmod.com.<br /><br />I learned on a manual, and I remember how excited I was when I got an IBM Selectric. I thought I had died and gone to heaven. Call me lazy, but I love my laptop! :)Dana@Mid2Modhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03055460107477850683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1128978925707271.post-72314454099119874042011-09-22T16:23:23.209-06:002011-09-22T16:23:23.209-06:00My mom remembers the day when she used to use a ty...My mom remembers the day when she used to use a typewriter. <br />She said kids today just don't know the pain!!!Mackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18257922215732769184noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1128978925707271.post-39531678772084174132011-09-22T15:16:29.590-06:002011-09-22T15:16:29.590-06:00My mom still uses a Quill and Ink.
