Newsroom to bring back typewriters ... sort of

The sound of typewriters has been brought back to the newsroom of The Times newspaper in Britain, where a speaker has been set up that broadcasts typewriter sounds, with the goal of increasing energy levels and helping reporters to meet their deadlines, according to The Independent.

The sound apparently starts as the click-clack of a single typewriter, and then slowly builds to the sound of many machines being used as the Times' print edition is due to go to press.
