The technological advances of society have taken us far in life. For example, college students can use their laptops in class to take notes, troll through Facebook and watch porn on mute. Rarely do you see anyone jot down notes on paper. Well, one scholar-in-the-making decided it was time to go back to basics and bust out a trusty old typewriter during a lecture. Watch the video after the jump.

Fans of G4's Attack of the Show will recognize the clip from last night's "Around the Net" segment, where hosts Kevin Pereira and Candace Bailey run down the top 5 viral videos of the day. I don't know which is my favorite part: When the guy says he's just copying notes or the "ding" at the end when he puts the typewriter away.

Has anyone pulled something like this when you were in college? Let us know below.
