There's no point. Kids don't want to.

If you want to get kids on board:

Don't bring back the old things; make new things that are more tactile. Advance them in new ways. For example, instead of using iPads - invest in advanced e-ink tech to bring better digital books to schools.

The piano example is an exception because, you can't really replace musical instruments.

But mechanical type-writers? Why not just invest in better mechanical keyboards, rather than the cheap membrane ones you see in schools so much?
