Last Typewriter Factory in the World Shuts Its Doors 249

Posted by samzenpus on Tuesday April 26, 2011 @02:18PM from the goodbye-wite-out dept.

SEWilco pointed out that the last typewriter factory has shut its doors. Indian typewriter manufacturer Godrej and Boyce stopped production today after 60 years. The company's general manager, Milind Dukle, says, "We are not getting many orders now. From the early 2000s onwards, computers started dominating. All the manufacturers of office typewriters stopped production, except us."

We have been making typewrithers for over 100 years.
Apparently, not very good ones.

I stopped using mine when I learned it was secretly saving a copy of everything I typed.

I'm pretty sure it's safe to presume they didn't use a typewriter to post to the message board.

The typewriter died out because they never implemented an "Any" key.
