The slow death of Myanmar's typewriter industry

With the dawn of the computer age the typewriter has disappeared into obscurity in most parts of the world, but in Myanmar many people still rely on typewriters to make a living.

However, as change creeps into the country their numbers are dwindling and the few who have stuck with them are struggling to survive.
