At the Beach…

…back to typecasting next week ‘cuz I didn’t bring a typewriter (or a scanner for that matter). If only our electro- wizards could invent some sort of magical “tele-typewriting” gizmo that could allow me to post typewritten text instead of using these ephemeral “electrical words.”

If we but had such devices, we could have conquered Mars with fleets of metal airships by now.

The times we live in, hmmm?

    EXACTLY!! This is truly a magnificent find, thanks for sharing it! I don’t know if the typecasting world is even aware of this…

    The next step would be for the inventors to figure out a way to make it typewriter-independent — embed all the electronics in the paper and cover it with sensors that can identify the characters by the shape of the keystroke on impact. Perhaps in the 2.0 version? We can only hope.

    See, stuff like this is what makes Americans a breed apart. 😀
