One of my favourite newfound pieces of technology (on which I’m writing this essay) is the AlphaSmart Neo2. It’s a bit of a cult item. The device was developed in the early 2000s as a portable word processor to teach typing to children. It contains ~8 files, each of which have space for ~10,000 words. That’s it. No internet, no email.
This just inspired me to purchase one. Thank you!
