My first job interview also had me type on one of these old manual machines, and the metal table bounced across the floor as I typed. I remember them well, you needed strong fingers. The old rotary phones though were ever so much better than these toys sometimes you can make a call on and be expected to have with you at all times to type messages and receive messages, while playing games and trying to hold onto these little gadgets and of course the constant updates and charging needed and of course they are just more garbage to be thrown out in a few years and a new one needed. Both the old typewriters and old phones (etc.) lasted almost a lifetime.
Remember when products were built to last, no longer in style, now wasteful dump filling items are all you can get. These old items were way more environmental than the new throw outs and used human energy.

I had an old style Olympia, an IBM Selectric and several others. Computers with Microsoft Word produces elegant professional documents. I want my Olympia back.

I learned to type on a Royal manual typewriter in high school and tested at 85 wpm. At age 9, I typed oil leases for my dad on an old Oliver typewriter he found in junkyard. Correcting errors on multiple carbon copies was a chore. But the way things are today, I'd gladly give up the technology and go back to those uncomplicated "good old days."

Good points, and on the topic of security, when quantum computers come on line they will obviate the use of the security methods used today (which also might mean trouble for crypto currencies and other block chain based technologies)
Going backwards in time, tech wise, might be the best thing to do. Kind of like the Mafia was right when they insisted that meetings be held in person in the middle of a swamp to ensure they could not be listened to.
Old school, baby!
