Add TYPEWRITER to the list of NSA spying/search history red flag words along with PRESSURE COOKER, and BACKPACK. Something to hide.
Going back to a typewriter must be an experience since there’s nothing to put a squiggly red line under spelling errors, and no backspace key to facilitate in correcting errors.
Actually there IS a backspace key but it doesn’t correct an error. You had to erase the typo and type it over.
Later model Selectrics were available in self-correcting.
Typewriters can be hacked and monitored.
It’s a real chore typing a lengthy document, without making grammatical errors, mistakes or misspellings, and without leaving something out. And if something important is left out, you may have to type the whole thing over again.
