You are looking at this post on some form of electronic device while participating in one of mankind’s greatest marvels – an interconnected web of computers that can allow you to explore strange new lands and encounter myriad voices and gaze upon scenic vistas without ever leaving your sofa.
What’s not to like?
Well, it turns out, an infinite number of choices for exploration can turn into a miasma of distraction – sucking the creativity out of your very bones and leading to endless swiping or scrolling past pointless Facebook posts.
So many interruptions – alerts, announcements, notifications – fill our days that we find it impossible to think. Impossible to create.
Many of us have discovered typewriters – these magical mechanical beasts from the not too distant past to be a remedy from the interconnected world and its miasma of distraction.
The mechanical thwack of the keys on your own personal printing press simultaneously relaxes and sharpens the mind allowing you to FOCUS. Something which is nearly impossible to achieve in the digital age in which we live.
Typewriters bring focus.
A typewriter is a tool for productivity designed in the 19th Century, but which is really just hitting its stride in the 21st.
