Riddle Me This

This is the longest word you can write using only the top line of the keyboard
It describes the device that the keyboard was made for.

Do you think you know the answer to this riddling rhyme?
Or do I need to give you a little more time?

If this weighs heavy on your mind, I can make your brain lighter
And tell you the answer – the word is “typewriter”.

Another winner!!! Does anyone even use a typewriter this day and age? There was a time when it was the staple of our lives. A good choice for your riddle!!
