When I was in school, my district was forward thinking enough to get all the 5-7th graders to learn to type. We even had classes on typewriter repair. These were the models we used back when Sears was the WalMart of its day. To graduate 8th grade I had to demonstrate that I could fix a broken type writer. In 9th grade all reports, essays, and other homework that was not math had to be typed.

I'm not going to be a elegant as kleinbl00 when I say this. If you feel nostalgic over mechanical keyboard, go fuck off you hipster asshole. Typewriters suck. Everything about then is awful. Typewriters exist because they were the best at the time given the limitations of the human technology advancement. The key layout is designed to slow you down YES REALLY STOP ARGUING THIS POINT QWERTY maximizes the separation between the common character pairs to minimize the frustration of the limits of the mechanical strike heads.

Typewriter ribbons are evil, vile, foul monsters that hate humanity. Only someone who did not grow up with them will have a nostalgia about changing typewriter ribbons. The next thing you will demand is dot-matrix printers. NO.

I use a Dvorak at home and work. My fingers fucking fly. When you see a post here on Hubski full of weird typos is it because I am on my laptop and I have not converted it to a DVORAK yet. For those of you with the desire to be different, but in a good way, get a DVORAK keyboard. Here is one used as an example. You can also get mechanical keyboards, which I recommend as well. Typing will suck for about a month, then you will never go back to QWERTY unless you absolutely have to. I type 100 WPM most days, but can never get over 50 on QWERTY.

If this hipster trash fake nostalgia is allowed to keep getting more and more absurd, the next thing you know we will be using Cuneiform on baked clay tablets. I was going to end this post with a shitting on the desire for Papyrus, but it looks like there are multiple outlets selling A4 and US Letter Papyrus sheets. Get off my lawn.
