The typewriter never really existed. It's a fabricated lie to make us think we have been existing for some time. In reality, there was nothing before the digital age. Then, Adam and Eve, and Apple, met and the rest is the real history we all know.

Happy (Intergalactic) Typewriter Day, to all of us ;)
