Yes, the typewriter...
A leading German politician has suggested that typewriters will be used to write confidential documents, in the wake of the U.S. spying scandal.
Patrick Sensburg, head of the German parliament’s enquiry into NSA activity, said that email may soon become redundant, in an interview with the Morgenmagazin TV show Monday night.
Faced with the incredulity of the interviewer, Sensburg insisted that his announcement wasn’t a joke. He added that should German politicians adopt typewriters, they’ll be using manual, not electronic, models.
Sensburg said that ongoing U.S. monitoring of Germany necessitated the change in operation.
