2027, the year of the typewriter once again? If such non-sense was to ever reach the EU (good luck, USA), which is quite likely seeing the non-sense we have already going on, and If I’m ever required to prove my age/ID in order to be allowed to use ‘my’ computer, said computer will instantly be disconnected from the Internet and turned back into what I always used mine for: a glorified typewriter. And if for some even more absurd reason that was not doable, I would dust off the Olympia SG1, a typewriter from the 1950s that I inherited from my grandfather in the early 70s… The same typewriter I used up well into the 80s to publish my first texts and fanzines of back then, before I switched to a computer and a printer. This 70 year-old or so typewriter still works perfectly well today, and the only updates it requires is once in a while a new ink ribbon which one can still purchase. Plus, it looks as cool as it ever looked ;) And good luck forcing it to check my age or ID before I can type on it.
