Is it a note-taking station? Is it a decoration only? Is it your regular journal? Is it a shopping list maker? Is it on display or tucked away?
I use mine to quickly write down ideas, so that I don’t get distracted by other things on a computer or have to wait for a computer to boot up. Other than that it’s a conversation piece and a decoration.
Edit, I forgot to include, I have a Royal like the one below. It was the cheapest one at the antique store, and it has worked perfectly for the 10+ years I’ve owned it.
How is writing something 9n a typewriter quicker than your phone?
Well, for starters, you don’t type “9n” by accident.
I mean, I might. But it takes white out or starting over to fix it
My phone has notifications that distract from the idea I had, and I can use all my fingers on the typewriter rather than 2 thumbs.
Downsides are a lack of autocorrect and too much noise if anyone is sleeping.
