Why would anyone use a typewriter in the days of computing? It turns out there are several reasons. One of the biggest reasons is security as a typewriter can't be hacked, so lots of legal offices use them. They are also used for typing checks and envelopes, warehouse forms and even death certificates. Some writers prefer typewriters as they can see they are being productive as he pages pile up and the clacking of the keys helps put them in their zone. What could go wrong? Turns out not much, there're typewriter repair shops across the nation that service and repair 20 or more machines per week, in fact typewriters are still being made by Royal, about 20,000 a year, just enough to remain sustainable. And last but not least some folks collect them for mostly nostalgic reasons though others might be considered hoarders!
