If you never used a typewriter, I suggest you try it. It is magical. My typewriter is this model, a Mercedes Prima from 1934, and it works excellent, like new.
It is demonstrated that when we write the information on a paper, with our own hand, we memorize it much easier and better than we do the same thing on a computer. The same happens when using a typewriter. Why? I don’t know why but writing books, for example, is much easier when using a typewriter. Maybe our DNA has something to do with the great history of humankind using these formidable machines.
I started writing a book using this Mercedes typewriter and it works excellent. I love writing every single day since I have it.
