I also know what a typewriter is. And I am sure that most people do. I felt rather insulted by your comment. You are eliminating your "young readers" by that comment. Besides that, I like your argument about people laughing because others are, it is very much true.

"Note to my younger readers: A typewriter is a keyboard where you type directly onto paper. Isn’t that the strangest thing you’ve ever heard of in your life?"...umm we're not stupid most of us 'young readers' know what a typewriter is
