The last typewriter in the U.K was recently produced and granted to London’s Science Museum.
However many think a museum is the last place this machine should be placed…with a large body of people still buying typewriter ribbons and arguing that with no other distractions like Facebook or Google, and no spell check then it ‘forces you to think’
Indeed, often you are now seen as cool if you use a typewriter, with people even requesting them at their wedding days to give their wedding that romantic, vintage feel where guests can type them messages on their special day.
We at underscore think there is still a place in modern communication for something as iconic as a well typed document and that it would possibly inspire it to be more readily picked up and read by the recipient than a conventional piece of print.
So why not get up to the attic everyone and start an old school type revival before its too late!
