And here I am, writing a post about wanting to disconnect from the web for a week. I don't feel so wierd, after all. Good article. Thanks for posting it.
I couldn't have said it better, even though I tried. In my case, I'm old enough to have used typewriters at school, but I also came of age using personal computers before there was such a thing as the Internet (at least as we know it). For 25 years computers occupied my mind. And now I'm really enjoying my daily disconnection sessions with the (mechanical) typewriter in turn.

I believe that this is the very article, written in the Spring of 2011, that rekindled my long-dormant interest in typewriters!
Thanks for your comments! Cameron, you're right - this article seems to have been published in 2011, as Mr. Caro is 77 these days!
Nice article. Thanks for posting.
Long live the typewriter! (PCs die in a decade)
It was nice to reread this piece. I like the expression "prying at the seams of digital culture."
