Typewriters are still wonderful tools if you like a slower pace for writing, but some typewriters kind of have a life of their own. Old manual ones have that clickety-clack when typing then there came what was known as a Selectric typewriter that still clickety-clicked just a little bit faster with a lighter touch. The manual typewriter looked over to the Selectric typewriter and said in his way "What's your hurry?" "You got to move fast in this world if you want to make it." Selectric said. We typewriters must look out for we will become obsolete one day soon.

The Chalkboard
What is a blackboard or some would call a chalkboard? This is an object that is in many classrooms at all levels and there are even some in many homes for many reasons. The chalkboard is a means of communication that shows the written word along with the spoken word, as it is a visual aid to the teacher to share a lesson on many subjects. Did we way back when really listen to what the teacher said or wrote on the board and learned what we needed to survive when we grew into adulthood. Just think for a minute.

Standing While Falling
Quotation from Friedrich Nietzsche "He who wrestles long with monsters should beware lest he himself become a monster. And if you gaze long into an abyss, the abyss also gazes into you. Man is not destroyed by suffering, but by the meaning he makes of it."

I learned typing skills.
Wonderful little bit of writing on something that's nearly obsolete these days. I loved using a typewriter back in the day.
A lesson on typewriters mixed in with a conversation between them, very fun read. Thank you for taking the time to write it.
