SEWilco pointed out that the
last typewriter factory has shut its doors. Indian typewriter manufacturer Godrej and Boyce stopped production today after 60 years. The company's general manager, Milind Dukle, says, "We are not getting many orders now. From the early 2000s onwards, computers started dominating. All the manufacturers of office typewriters stopped production, except us.

Computers need electricity. I have an old typewriter. Guess I should get a new ribbon while available.

I don't think I have used a typewriter for at least 10 years.

Brilliant!
I need only scour the local second-hand shops for their unloved Underwoods and Royals.
