The last typewriter has been produced at a North Wales factory and was donated to London’s Science museum where it will be displayed next to the very early machines produced in the nineteenth century.
The typewriter has, of course, a long history and in its day revolutionised the art of letter and document writing. It’s truly amazing that the layout of the keyboard which typists have pounded over the years has remained unchanged and according to the analysts is the best formation of letters and numbers that could ever have been set out.
The advancements of technology may well have sounded the death knell of the trusted typewriter with its complicated ribbon change and messy correction fluid, but there still remain those who will never give up on their trusted machines.
This season of Advent which begins on Sunday reminds us that God has communicated his message of love and compassion not only through the Bible, the written word, but primarily by the life, death and resurrection of Jesus who grew to the maturity of manhood and lived a life of love, healing, forgiveness and sacrifice.
God’s message contained for centuries in prophesies of the Bible were brought to life when Jesus walked this earth and from then to this very day lives continue to be changed through this full and final revelation of God’s love. Advent reminds us that the ‘Word’ became flesh and made his home with us.
Jesus emerges from the written word – God’s message of love born in Bethlehem for us.
