Student reflections on typewriting (IV)

5 comments:

  1. It was interesting to read the circular thought process of this student, as he/she typed away. The student kept coming back to having to THINK about what he/she was writing. Yes, indeed!

  2. Another minor corrupted to the Path of the Ribbon. Well done.

  3. "I also enjoyed the ding of the typewriter... it made feel as though I had accomplished something."

    Yeah!

  4. They keep coming back to not so much thinking about the writing, but rather the operation of the apparatus. I think a voluntary group taught to use the typewriter before forming impressions might yield significantly different responses.

  5. Think and ... ding! I like it. Very well stated point about our instant society and things needing to be immediate and the lack of thinking.

    Perhaps you have another convert to the world of typewriting.
