You should definitely activate ragged margins on the right. It would be nearly impossible to create justified block text using a typewriter: it would require you to plan ahead the exact number of characters until the end of of the line and add random spaces between words to make it fit. Not very likely.

But \raggedright prevent hyphenation, that was usual using typewriters. Because this, the result is a right margin even worse than in texts made really with a typewriter. Instead, setting to 0em the lines 15 to 18 allow hyphenation without right justification and without extra spaces, giving a nicer right margin, but enough irregular to simulate carriage returns made by humans.
