Russia's Federal Guard Service has ordered 20 new electric typewriters to avoid electronic data leaks. Shown above is an Olivetti manual typewriter, which was sold at an auction for $254,500 US in New York in 2009.
Typewriter enthusiasts gather at an Albuquerque restaurant to experiment with vintage Smith Coronas. Fans in Boston kneel in a city square and type stories about their lives during a pro-immigration demonstration. A documentary on typewriters featuring Tom Hanks and musician John Mayer is set for release this summer.
Patrick Sensburg, chairman of the German parliament's National Security Agency investigative committee, now says he’s considering expanding the use of manual typewriters to carry out his group's work.
LOL!!! I couldn't stop laughing. Can't remember the last time I set my eyes on a typewriter... Mhen, that device was really awesome.. :D
With all the spying and hacking going on, especially from the Chinese government alone in hacking I would go back to low tech typewriters for security reasons also. That being said still won't absolutely stop the spying of said documents though('! ')
Why don't you just create a network of computer that is not "online" to everyone else? If that fails just go back to say DOS and make a program that covers you up?
It just seems more convenient than a type writer. Those things are an absolute pain to use.
If it's an inside leak, then build computers that have no USB ports or disc drives, along with a private network, so that nobody can steal the files.
Pencils. That is all.
