It dawned on me that generations of people will never know the romance of sitting in front of a typewriter and punching out a letter or short story in the same manner as Hemingway, or the beautiful crackle of a vinyl Beatles record.
However, I don’t seem to be alone in my love affair with items that have been deemed obsolete due to technological advances. In fact, I recently met a gentleman in my hometown that makes a living by refurbishing vintage typewriters and record players.
So, before you banish your “out of date” items to landfill in lieu of the latest and greatest, consider giving these items a second shot at life by donating them to the local thrift shop.
In doing so, you will free up much need space in our landfills, enable people in your community to make a living, and who knows, your old typewriter might just inspire the next A Farewell to Arms.
