Telling people what it was like to write with mechanical (non electric) typewriters. Nobody under 45 ever used them. They cannot imagine the difference of pressing down on a keyboard with some force.
The first time I tried out an electronic typewriter it was strange and changed how I wrote.
I remember adjusting the wobbly ink tape. It was a different way of typing, way more careful to not make any mistakes. It’s nice we kept the same keyboard layout on all typing hardware that came after.

I’m 37 and have used one as a kid.
My mom kept hers for sentimental reasons and I played with it as a kid. I cannot imagine the RSIs people would get from those bad boys.
