Show Notes
Grit Matthias Phelps, a German professor at Cornell University, is revolutionizing her classes by ditching laptops for manual typewriters. Students, like nineteen-year-old Catherine Mong, are learning to type without screens, spellcheck, or AI assistance. This analog approach eliminates distractions and encourages socializing, as seen in the case of computer science sophomore Ratchaphon Lertdamrongwong. Phelps believes this method promotes joyful single-tasking and proves that analog tools still have value in our digital age.
