Student Hauls Typewriter into Class for Taking Notes

Student Takes Notes With Typewriter
Computers in the classroom are a given at this point. It's hard to walk into a lecture hall without seeing the glow of dozens of laptop screens and hearing the light clicking of keyboards. One student though, at an unnamed school, decided he was tired of dealing with the constant din of students tapping away at their keyboards. So, to make a point, he lugged an aging, noisy typewriter to class to take notes while the professor spoke.

Suffice to say the professor was not amused. In fact he found the loud clacking of typebars striking the paper and the "ding" indicating the end of a line quite irritating and chased the student out of the class. Thankfully someone was smart enough to get the whole thing on video and share it with the Web.

Check out the brief, slightly awkward video below. [From: Break.com]
