Flying out of SFO's Terminal 2, I had a bit of time to enjoy the exhibit put on by the San Francisco Airport Commission, which runs a full museum and many art displays in both the public and post-security areas of the airport.

"The Typewriter: An Innovation in Writing" is a really neat exhibit of how the machines evolved over time. Some started out as one-character-at-a-time machines (kind of like the rotary plastic tape embossers that were popular in offices and schools), some had full sets of separate upper and lower case keys... and yes, the exhibit includes a few non-western-character sets - the Asian sets are AMAZING!!

If you happen to be in T2 post-security, you should really check this out!

"Expenditure Survey data from 2003-2013, the price of college tuition increased 80%, while the cost of women’s apparel increased by just 6% over the same period. Middle-class lack of investment in education doesn’t suggest a lack of prioritising as much as it reveals that, for those in the 40th-60th quintiles, education is so cost-prohibitive it’s almost not worth trying to save for."
