College Student Brings Mechanical Typewriter to Class - Neatorama

(YouTube Link)

Many college students use laptop computers to take notes during class. The student in this video, as a prank, took an old mechanical typewriter to a lecture for that purpose. The professor gets quite perturbed and asks him to mute the sound effects.

he decided to take off before the professor could determine what student he was, it seems. Having smaller class sizes at a college can be a blessing and, sometimes, a (slackers) curse. :P

I have a high school student, who draws wonderful Bruce McCall style retro work (although he was not familiar with McCall!), who sometimes brings a manual typewriter to class. No one cares. It's an arts school.

Stupid. They used to take notes in class and then type them up later, if they had to. Dragging the typewriter into class is disruptive and rude to the professor and to the students who actually want to hear the lecture.
