The ads about a typewriter. Feel nostale. I wish i can acquire a newly product typewriter with good price (pricing as an device to be use rather than an ancient rare decor).

I wonder why mostly typewriter person are female. Is there any man who work with typewriter or computer those day ?
Nowaday it is opposite, most computer/software employee are man.
perseverance?
If typewriter is mass product and cheap enough, i think people will buy it for everyday use, or at least for hobby.
Use typewriter is like the hybrid of laptop and pen&paper. You want to brainstorm idea, or want to have fun writing but don't want to hold the pen and write, then typewriter is best fit. Laptop is having a monitor, which is not suit for you when what you need is paper.
It is just fun to use typewriter, especially when you need inspiration.
Same question, why do typewriter/computer job in these day are female majority ?
"5: Johnny doesn't know SHIT. I don't even know why we included him in this ad, but he heard some random office gossip and now he thinks this typewriter is cheap as FUCK. You should also think that!"

We're going to play it pretty loose with timeframe here so please don't get offended anyone :)
