My wife works at a major university in the area and they have a electric typewriter they keep in case a form or something needs to be typed. It seats on a table with a cover over it. One day she pulled it out and stated using it. She said within a few minutes she had a crowd of work study students standing behind her watching it work. They had never seen a typewriter being used before. They were completely mesmerized by it.
