William Gibson wrote Neuromancer in 1984 on a 1932 typewriter! (The novel describes a future that is about to happen.)
A typewriter cannot be hacked, the typewritten pages don't vanish even if the machine breaks down, and it works even during blackouts (coming to your neighborhood soon)!
While it's a pain to make corrections for typos, this feature is good for developing, improving, and maintaining attention, accuracy, and motor skills! Self-restraint and discipline are essential!
I'm pretty sure Steel uses ghostwriters, so she doesn't count. :)

I'm intrigued by the concept of this blog, fun fact, when I was in JSS3 (Junior Secondary School) the American equivalent of the 9th grade, in Nigeria. Type writing was a required practical/lab portion of a course called business studies. Short hand was also required of us too. At the time I didn't appreciate it cause, whats the point we have computers, now I'm just intrigued by it, maybe it's nostalgia, or my general curiosity who knows but I can't wait to read more from your blog
