Have you ever wondered why we use a ‘keyboard’ for typing? What do typewriters without a keyboard look like? Vaibhav Singh takes us on a tour of his collection of vintage typewriters, exploring how we have thought about text and technology, how the keyboard we use today has been one of many alternatives and how the processes and tools for writing have been adapted, modified and challenged.
Dr Vaibhav Singh, University of Reading
