Paper replaced the stone tablet. The typewriter replaced the written page. The word processor replaced the typewriter.Thank goodness I can remember a time when a hand written letter from a loved-one far away was an event to be treasured. Something you could touch, smell, and help you feel connected to that person. Now we have emojis.Kids are typing before they are writing. Biometrics are replacing signatures. In the future, a pen will be an oddity collected by people like us...It’s a sad day when they kill cursive, but the need for good penmanship, like the typewriter, is now history. And just to lift us back to the theme of this thread...What’s the longest English word you can type on the top row of a QWERTY keyboard?
