When you grew up actually seeing something that was some everyday necessity now being considered to be a relic of the past where people are being total revisionists, thinking they're cool on some vintage shyt...
I have mixed feelings about that.
I remember back in the early 90s when my mom was going to school and she would write papers with her brother (the name of the company, she didn't have an actual brother) typewriter. The ribbon would run out and she had a new one on deck. When she would backspace, it would make that funny noise.. eventually, I had to start using it myself because we didn't have a computer. I eventually would have to go over to my aunts place to use her computer. My teacher actually gave me a bad grade in the 5th grade because my project wasn't computerized.
I would basically look at the Sunday news ads every Sunday, take out the advertisements to compusa and look at gateway, sony and apple computers like
I used to get geeked out at sony vios or v something that they had advertised. It was going for like 1,000 to 2,000 dollars and up. Then flip the next page to see the Sega genesis, super nes (they were phasing those out by the mid to late 90s) Playstation, n64, virtual boy, Gameboy, game gear, Sega Saturn systems to see the newest games out.
But anyway, I see how some people wanna bring that back with the typewriters thinking they're cool and they're not using the typewriters from the 80s. They are using the ancient ones. Typewriters were annoying as fukk too. If you made a mistake, you had to white out, wait for it to dry, then align the paper back to the way you had it and try to type the right letter. Why would anyone want to do that if they don't have to? Folks have it too good where they don't value what they have now.
