The Typewriter



Our group's challenge was to make the typewriter desirable to college students. Because college students are into the newest technology, it was hard to think of the "pros" of having a typewriter. However, my group planned to sell the typewriter as inexpensive and simple to use.

1. The typewriter is inexpensive.
With Macbooks costing up to $1,000, it is no wonder that college students are broke. By spending less than $200 on a vintage typewriter, you can guarantee that you'll get your money's worth.

2. The typewriter is efficient and simple to use.
You don't need to hook up your typewriter to a printer; the second you start typing, you'll already have your printed copy. You don't need to worry about choosing Microsoft Word, adjusting the margins, picking the right font, or even purchasing a printer. The only thing you need to know how to do is press the keys.

3. The typewriter can prevent distractions.
Because there is no Internet browser, you won't be able to visit Facebook or Twitter while typing the essay due tomorrow. It can keep a college student on task. This can even result in finishing early so you'll have plenty of time to do other activities.

4. The typewriter can be a trend starter.
Although it was introduced long ago, the normal college student can start a new trend by using the typewriter again. She (or he) would be the first person re-introducing the typewriter again. Just like how many people enjoy using polaroid cameras now, the typewriter could definitely make a comeback.
