Fresh converts

What does, "Manual typewriters aren't going gently into the good night of the digital era" and "fresh converts" mean here?

"Manual typewriters aren't going gently into the good night of the digital era. The machines have been attracting fresh converts, many too young to be nostalgic for spooled ribbons, ink-smudged fingers and corrective fluid."

Hi there. There is a poem by Dylan Thomas called " Do not go gentle into that good night". Many people interpret it as "don't just give up and die when you get old, fight for your survival and enjoy every last moment".
