I remember when I first saw an episode of The Wire where they were using typewriters. The computer has become so synonymous with the workplace that I thought their office looked really, really barren without one.
I never saw The Wire, but was their office completely void of computers? I can see where some offices would still have typewriters for certain forms (for some reason people here still use typewriters to put addresses on envolopes), but a police station without computers has to be insane!
