Think the new Ipad is pretty cool, do ya? Well then check this baby out - the 1969 Olivetti "Valentine"by Ettore Sottsass. This is probably one of the most sought after typewriters ever made (even MoMA have one in their collection). Apart form being one of the most beautiful objects ever, it is also meant to be one of the best typewriters to use ever.
Ah the good old days! It seems hard now to picture in your mind, a time when a writer's best friend was the waste paper basket and Spam was just rubbery, gelatinous tinned meat!
Now lets see if the Ipad lasts the test of time like the Valentine. Hmmmm.
