German government bans laptops – gets typewriters
by Anorak | 28th, September 2012
THE state parliament of Schleswig-Holstein, Germany, is looking to ban lap-tops from meetings.
So. Pirate Party workers Patrick Breyer and Torge Schmidt took a typewriter along. Breyer notes:
The other groups want to buy at the expense of the highly indebted country tablet computers for all Members, as existing laptops should be banned and a “uniform appearance” is to be created.
You can’t play patience on a typewriter. It’ll never catch on.
