At 63, I just finished my 34th year teaching English and history in high school. I went to college in the 1980s (after the Army, a factory job, and traveling) and did most of college with a manual typewriter. I was in awe when the Apple IIe came out and bought one immediately. I just traded my iPhone 6s for a 12, and I have been writing on Medium for a little over a year. You struck so many notes with me with the article. Thanks! It was a joy to read!
