Because it doesn't crash, no viruses, and no annoying red underlines.

I'm older, but "back in the day" we had typewriters that did basic wordprocessing. A bit more time consuming, but not nearly as annoying as these bloody computers!! My typewriter never: refused to "communicate" with me like the puter does the printer, insisted on editing my writing (incorrectly at that!) in the middle of a project, flashed low battery/plug in warning when the d.mned thing IS plugged in!, "ate" my thesis by saying the file no longer exists (what?! It was there 10 minutes ago--give it back!). Wow, I could go on forever about this, but am feeling the sudden urge to strike any key. Maybe that'll show it whose boss around here.

A typewriter is faster, but you have to use correction fluid every time you make a mistake. Manual typewriters are more mobile (since they don't depend on electricity) but are often bulkier and heavier than electric or electronic typewriters. Ribbons for ordinary (non-electric) typewriters come in a few standard formats that are fairly widely available. Just Joking!

Because to use a computer requires turning it on, waiting it to load, opening up word and having to put all the settings down.
With the typewriter, you just put in a piece of paper and you're off.

well if we wanted to waste our time when we make a mistake or have to check if the spelling is right then we would use a typewriter.

The nice clicking sound. : )
And you have to know how to spell because you don't have spell-check. Seriously, I used to be a MUCH better speller before I started using word processors.

at least no one would be able to hack into your typewriter.

Computers make GEEKS of us all.
Typewriters you only have to deal with red tape.
