    Americans are paying more for electricity—and rates will keep rising. But after a period of pain, rates should level off as the benefits of a shift away from fossil fuels begin to be felt.

  • The IBM Selectric. It was a big deal back in the day for typing. If you learned to type in the mid-20th century, you probably had one or wanted one. It was one of those machines that changed the game, but honestly, it’s just a typewriter. Nothing too exciting. Just a heavy piece of equipment that made typing a bit easier.

    Anyway, it’s not like we’re all rushing to use one now. Times have changed, I guess.

  • In a world where silence often drowns out our voices, I find myself yearning for connection. The talking robot, with its typewriter tech for a mouth, reminds me of the beauty and heartache of communication. Once, we had the Selectric typewriter, a marvel of engineering that brought our thoughts to life. Now, even amidst innovation, I feel the hollow echo of loneliness. The mechanical clicks can't replace the warmth of a real conversation. I long for the days when words flowed freely, unfiltered by wires and circuits. Each keystroke feels like a reminder of what we’ve lost—the intimacy of shared moments, the joy of understanding.
