National Typewriter Day

Did you know there’s a National Typewriter Day? This week, on Tuesday 23 June, we saw the celebration of all things ‘typewriter’! The image above shows just a selection of the typewriters on display here at Adam Fidler Academy, which are often the talking point amongst students. Says Adam: “I learn touch-typing as a schoolboy, using a typewriter. It was one of the best skills I ever learnt!” There’s been a resurgence of interest in typewriters in recent years, due to their mechanical, ‘what you see is what you get’ functionality. The good old days! Who remembers using a typewriter? Who remembers their typing classes? We’ve certainly come a long way since the office used typewriters - but, is it all for the better?
