I now understand why it’s called the “SHIFT” key.
-
As a big Technology Connections fan, this one hits the spot.

as a Chinese speaker, your Chinese is actually quite good for a beginner, a lot of people have to use English substitutes for a lot of phrases even after years of learning, and you did not have any substitutions, which is impressive. Pronunciations of each words are quite clear, although not how we would say them because we use them too quickly that some sounds mashes into each other, but I appreciate the effort on each character. Good luck with learning one of the most difficult language.

I saw similar things with Japanese typewriters in the 1980's but even those took advantage of modern-ish electronics. With katakana, romanji, and kanji it really became practical with computers. This is absolutely fascinating and something I've often wondered about.
-
It's really satisfying when you can somewhat understand and communicate with other people in their native tongue. Back in the 80s I learned German and Russian, when I was in the service. It was a definite blessing in my life.
-
Great topic. I love the opening, “I decided to learn Chinese”. Like a married man with four children doesn’t have enough to do. You’re amazing.
-
I'm disappointed you didn't start your test of the antique typewriter with: "Hello World".
-
Unbelievable skills. Thank you so much Jeremy for taking the time to make these videos. I have been subscribed to your channel for a very long time. All my respect.
-
I've been learning japanese for about 4 years now and I went into a similar rabbit hole during the initial stage regarding how I was going to type kanji, it was good to get a small flashback to that time.
-
That was a lot of fun. Your Kiwico ads are often my favorite part of your videos. Your whole family is beautiful. Thanks for another great video.
-
WOW! I always was curious about that too. Thank you for the presentation. Great work.
-
I am really happy that the YouTube algorithm suggested this video. This comment is mainly to feed it more. Great video about a very interesting topic. I really like your causal, friendly narration. Best wishes, Erik.

Dude..... Been a while so figured I would stop by to check your channel out. So glad to see you going off in totally random and interesting directions. Anything you find interesting..... We're here for it.👍
-
This guy is the best. He asks the questions people look at me like I'm a weirdo for asking. But I'm just curious and love to learn. VERY much appreciate your videos. Keep them coming!! 😄
-
Fascinating! As a Chinese (living in the US) I never knew there were Chinese typewriters, let alone the level of engineering that went into them. Thank you for taking the time to make a video on this topic. 如果你住在旧金山附近我非常高兴帮助你练习口语。
-
You have a nice team to help you with the projects at home. Good job.
-
Love this video and it is really cool to see the challenges and solutions when making chinese typewriters, but I really want to point out how I'm really impressed with your Chinese speaking ability as an American Taiwanese!
-
You seem like a great guy/father. nice family and great engineer. wish you the success you rightfully deserve
-
I've always wondered about this, and you explained it so well. Great video!
-
Huge fan; watching this video from Shanghai right now and this is so interesting. Thank you Jeremy.
