Do You Know How To Use A Typewriter?

I know this will date me,
but, did any of you own a typewriter?
Do you know what they are?
Do you know how they work?
I never would have guessed that 
Typewriter quilt fabric
 could possibly be a mystery 
to the next generation.
Kids React To Typewriters
actually made me feel a little better.
This will probably be my one and only opportunity
to actually know more about 
how to use a device
than they do.

that is the way I learned how to type - on a regular typewriter that wasn't electric!! you had to swish that bar at the end to swing it back to the start of the page - luckily electric typewriters came along shortly after I began to learn but something about swishing that bar at the end of the line was neat!

This video was so funny - thanks for sharing. Love watching the kids think through how it worked.

I learned to type on a manual typewriter at school. And when I started teaching I used a nice electric typewriter all the time, along with the crank type mimeograph machines to copy. But I'm so glad we don't have to use these anymore.

I also learned how to type on a manual typewriter. My husband and I still have an electric typewriter that we use on occasion. BTW, my daughter and her husband live in Seattle. There is a sculpture there of an typewriter eraser (the type that has a wheel eraser on one end and a brush on the other)They had no idea what it was. They just thought it was an odd sculpture.

That's how I learned to type...on an old-fashioned typewriter. Never used an electronic one until high school! :)
