abcworldnews: Last Typewriter Factory Left in the World Closes Its Doors Daily Mail: It’s an invention that revolutionised the way we work, becoming an essential piece of office equipment for the best part of a century. But after years of sterling service, that bane for secretaries has reached the end of the line. Godrej and Boyce - the last company left in the world that was still manufacturing typewriters - has shut down its production plant in Mumbai, India with just a few hundred machines left in stock. Although typewriters became obsolete years ago in the west, they were still common in India  - until recently.  Demand for the machines has sunk in the last ten years as consumers switch to computers. The company’s general manager, Milind Dukle, told India’s Business Standard newspaper: ‘We are not getting many orders now. This makes me sad. Glad I inherited my Pop-Pop’s Remington Typewriter or else I’d be bidding on one right now on Ebay.

nationalgeographicdaily: Kolmanskop, Namibia Photograph by Chris Gray Kolmanskop, Namibia.  Kolmanskop is an abandoned diamond mine near the coast.  The “ghost” town has several residences and barrack-type accommodations, as well as the remains of a few commercial establishments.  Today the town is a photographer’s dream come true.  One cannot spend enough time taking in all the photographic opportunities.  For this photograph I had to crawl through a small opening in a window and have my friend pass my camera gear into me.
