Making Things Difficult for Fun

FreckledNest.com: Old to New: Typewriters:

Is there a study that explains why we (or at least me and two other people) think this is just a neat idea? Nobody really wants to go back to manual typewriters. They're heavy, they're inefficient, and frankly, you have to be some kind of hipster doofus if you think someone, upon seeing your manual typewriter-to-monitor set-up, would say anything other than, "what's wrong with you, hipster doofus?"

Whoa, I just had some kind of weird olfactory flashback to the smell of freshly opened White-Out.
