Brilliant. Great little article. Doubt it will do much to overall typewriter usage (I also don't think that is his point, really) but you have to admire his passion.

I also doubt it'll increase typewriter usage, but a while ago I saw The Atlantic's review of this device: "The Future of Writing Looks Like the Past: The Freewrite, a 'smart typewriter,' wants to liberate writers from their computers," which looks intriguing (http://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2016/05/freewr...). At $500 it seems a bit pricey, but I've talked to many writers who complain of relentless distraction from the notifications on regular computers, and I wonder if the Freewrite is a possible solution to that problem.
Myself, I'm fond of Freedom (https://freedom.to/) for quieting the temptation to log in, but I can see the appeal of alternatives.
