Personal computers can have replaced the typewriter in so much homes and offices, however the venerable writing machine is currently staging a comeback. From portable models that hipsters are snapping up in Urban Clothes shops to Tom Hanks’s bestselling app that recreates the manual revel in on a pill, the typewriter hasn’t ever been so hot. This birthday party of the typewriter covers what a platen knob is, why QUERTY won out over other arrangements of keys, which authors loved (or loathed) their typewriters, and a lot more.
