Student brings typewriter to class

Remember the days of crazily scribbling out lecture notes with a pen and paper? Or pumping out a 25-page paper on a typewriter? Indeed, in the days before laptops, college was a tad bit different, but one student at Georgia Tech decided to hop in a time machine and drag a typewriter to class. The prankster poked away at the machine, unaffected by giggling classmates, as the sound of each letter echoed throughout the class.

Word has it that the Delorean was parked outside the lecture hall with the date set at 1968.

Looking to have some fun? We can help.

I love writing on my typewriter. Hearing the click-clack of the keys and seeing each letter emblazoned on the clean sheet of paper in front of you, there's nothing better.

Any student that brings a typewriter to my innovation class will get extra points for sure!

I'd /love/ to have a genuine mechanical typewriter as a computer input device.
