Aw.. I actually feel bad for him. I think it's awesome he brought a typewriter to class.

There's no school like the old school!

What a try hard

what a douche. win. LOL

lol

If he was serious, I feel bad for him on the other hand... nobody could really be that stupid right?

Oh lol. I hope he wasn't serious, just funny how he could keep a straight face.

Please people. Saying "I'll just download the attachments," pretty much gives him away. Wonderful and ballsy. Harrumph harrumph!

like performance art. a commentary on modern technology and archaic educational systems.

In 1997 I worked for a large food production company in the IT department. My team shared a large cube space near the business line. Across the aisle, there was a woman who refused to use computers, insisting they were a "fad", and that we'd all regret it someday. To that end, she found and utilized the loudest typewriter she could... all day, every day. When I complained to her boss that the device was distracting, his response was "we'll have to wait and see... she might be right". (mind you this was 1997, not 1977!)

I wonder what they're doing career-wise today....

HI EVERYONE I WANT ATTENTION BECAUSE I'M TRYING TO BE THE COOLEST KID IN SCHOOL!

Being paid well as an excellent typist? Who can say. The typing course that they had in my highschool was all on manual typewriters, to pass the course you had to be able to type 100wpm no errors. I can't do that today, age/stiff-fingers that type of stuff. But up until a few years ago I was able to easily get 80-95wpm/no errors even on a modern computer. If it's one thing that computers have done for us, it's made us really bad spellers because we know that the spell checker is nearby.

Ahh but what a great sense of occasion he's now brought to class instead of just relying on a boring laptop like everyone else.

I think that's probably a common misconception. If anything, spellcheckers have made me a better speller by pointing out misspelled words that I otherwise wouldn't have noticed. I take note of the correct spelling for future reference.

I want to be friends with that dude.

He wants to be friends with you too, but only if he can press all your buttons and ring your bell.
