These days, distraction-free writing can be likened to a luxury of the past. Computers are rife with distractions in the form of social media, apps and, of course, the Internet in general. But the Hemingwrite hopes to help. It is inspired by old fashioned typewriters while incorporating modern tech that people have come to love and rely on.
By eliminating access to the Internet, the Hemingwrite encourages a true sense of distraction-free writing. It boasts amble memory and a six-week battery life for those who would take their distraction-free writing project to a remote cottage or the like. The Hemingwrite is also equipped with WiFi and Bluetooth capabilities so that people can sync their work to Google Docs, Evernote and the Cloud. What many nostalgic writers will appreciate is its vintage look.
