WATCH: A typewriter amazes kids who’ve never seen one before
Today in more things that will make you feel old.
Â
Â
For many of us older folk, the humble typewriter is a symbol of simpler times. For children born after the year 2000, it’s an unfamiliar contraption. A video from TheFineBros’ series "Kids React To" showed young ones aged six to 13 being utterly fascinated by the venerable machine.
Â
When asked what an "ancient" typewriter was, a 13-year-old boy answered, "It types and prints at the same time."
Â
"It is basically like a computer except it doesn’t have a screen. All you do is type out messages," said another. Close enough.
Â
After trying it out for themselves, the kids had some entertaining things to say. "It takes a very long time to write these things because once you try to type fast, you just can’t do it because there’s too many and it collides," commented one boy.
Â
"I’d rather write, actually," admitted another kid.
Â
When they were told that they needed to use a whiteout to erase typos, one exclaimed, "That’s horrible!"
Â
Kids these days.
