I don't think (most) people appreciate old technology anymore.
Today I brought my typewriter (a Smith-Corona Silent) to each of my classes to take notes with. Other than my friends, most people just didn't seem to care (or even notice).
And of all teachers, my History teacher asked me to put it away.
Is it just me, or do ppl not appreciate old tech as much as I thought they did?
@krafter In the era of that technology, notes would have been taken by hand. I don’t think anyone would have been taking notes in a lecture on a typewriter. Typewriters were for formalising something to be read by others, rather than for one’s self.
Even now, the evidence suggests handwritten notes are more effective for learning.
