Gather 'Round Children...

and, behold, a communication device from ancient times...actually, I heard someone using this typewriter at the office today...I didn't know it was still there...it really was throw back Thursday!

[Marilyn]

Talk about throw back, ,lol!!!

[HippieChick13]

nice! I used one of these in high school.

[Joe]

Ha! I remember taking lessons in school. Wow

[Debbie]

I used a similar one to this in my first job, I thought it was so modern after the old fashioned type writers we used to use.

[Lisa Poland]

Wow. I took typing in high school, now they take keyboarding and learn to use computers in preschool.

[Kay Hodges]

Nice capture

[Lin]

@stormi40 Funny that I found it on TBTH...it must not be used very much, because this is the first time I've heard it in years!

[Lin]

@hippiechick13 @rellimdj I remember my mom INSISTING that I take lessons in high school and I'm so glad she did!

[Lin]

@debbie3108 I can still remember the really old ones with the manual return!

[Lin]

@homeschoolmom Yes, children are so much more advanced in technology...it's just amazing!

[Lady Magpie (Heather)]

I used to have older ones than that Lin, they were so old they were steam driven. Nice capture and memory.

[Lin]

@kbird61 Thanks so much, Kay...appreciate your sweet comment!

[Lin]

@ladymagpie LOL...isn't all this new technology fun? And frustrating??? It is nice to remember simpler times!

[Nita]

OMG! Perfect for throwback Thursday. It has been a while since I have seen one of these... Or used one for that matter.

[Peggy Sirk]

I remember when these IBMs were THE thing! I can't imagine using one now. We adapt so quickly to new technology.

[Lin]

@sansjuan @peggysirk Thanks for the comments...I'm not sure why my coworkers still need to use it!

[Brigette]

haha. at least the keyboards are still in the same format!

[Lin]

@brigette Yes, that is definitely a good thing! Thanks for stopping by!
