While browsing through the internet, I came across an old newspaper article from 1995 that talks about “the demise of typewriters”. The article makes a very good point about one reason why typewriters are better than computers. It basically states that during the time period when typewriters were prominent, libraries had exhibits of authors’ original texts that people could look at in order to see the way that each author’s story was developed and to essentially grasp the author’s thought process while he or she wrote. However, the use of computers does not allow for this to happen. Libraries no longer possess exhibits of rough drafts showing the progress of an author’s work because the “save” button on a computer allows people to edit their rough drafts and then save the newly edited one, erasing all existence of the original work.
