Definitely an interesting exhibit... I'm actually old enough that few of these things are strange to me. I remember growing up in Denmark there was just one state run TV station, which started around 18:00 and went to maybe 22:30, except on weekends.

My mother always used a small Olympia "portable" typewriter, all the way till she passed away in 2009... even though I offered many times, I always refused switching to a laptop, instead. I wrote most of my papers at University on an old IBM Selectric.

As an interesting aside, the newest store in our town is actually a typewriter shop, perhaps a nostalgic tip of the hat to the fact that this place is considered a haven for poets and writers, and there are many (evidently) who still create their manuscripts the old fashioned way.
