Why Tom Hanks Just Loves Old Typewriters

In an Op-Ed for the Sunday New York Times, the actor writes, “Computer keyboards make a mousy tappy tap tappy tap like ones you hear in a Starbucks – work may be getting done but it sounds cozy and small, like knitting needles creating a pair of socks. Everything you type on a typewriter sounds grand, the words forming in mini-explosions of SHOOK SHOOK SHOOK. A thank-you note resonates with the same heft as a literary masterpiece.”
