Typewriters as Educational Gifts for Children
Dr George W Crane argues that old typewriters are affordable and educational gifts for children and adults. He notes a 7 year old’s three hour practice, a 100 year old’s early morning sessions, and claims typing improves spelling and word awareness. He urges gifts of a typewriter along with an encyclopedia dictionary atlas and Bible. He adds that used machines can be bought for under 25 dollars and preferred recipients include clerks teachers and pastors.
