Typewriters are making a comeback. One reason? The 2016 documentary California Typewriter featuring Tom Hanks has increased awareness and sales of classic typewriters. And Tom’s 2017 bestselling book Uncommon Hype has helped keep the type hype going. As did his Hanx Writer apps. It's a free typewriter simulation app that was number one on iTunes when it first came out. Learn more about this, plus more reasons as to why typewriters are becoming cool again.

It has a lot to do with privacy. A typewriter can't be hacked unless the person is standing over your shoulder literally looking at what you are typing.

@peterbullen3347 2 месяца назад

I worked as a typewriter engineer in the early 80s, when these machines are used in high security locations, defence , government etc. the ribbons and platen cannot be removed as in theory the information can be read from them,.. so hacking was an issue...

@LukeJones-bj8kl Месяц назад

Unless they scan all mail Through a machine that x rays letters and mail and then will alert 🚨 any thought precrimes.

Since childhood I’ve been fascinated with these machines. Thanks Tom Hanks for making it trending!

@denisesanders6027 4 года назад

I got a typewriter back in 2001, that one broke down , it took me forever to find another. I end up finding another one in 2015,at a thrift store, that's where I got my first one. Typewriters are awesome, way better than the technology that they want us to use, computers laptops, tablets, phones, don't forget the printer. I think typewriters will never go out of style. My family laughs at me, because I type stories, or writing a letter to someone, I don't use emails. I using my typewriter ,to send a letters or send thank you notes,make out menus, and a food planner. Typewriters will never go out of style,because some of us don't want to go paperless.

I'm a really big fan of vintage things. I just got one from a friend, as a gift. It's an Olivetti Lettera 35. I made adjustments, and it's useful and working again. I got my interest for writing again. I really love this one. Hanks is the best. Indeed, you don't need nothing else when you're a writing lover. Just words, paper and a typewriter. Stay creative, and put out your best words !!!

@peterbullen3347 2 месяца назад

I worked with typewriters in early 80s just as the electronic ones came on the market, in our house when ever a typewriter is on a tv show my wife or daughter will say.. what model is that ? I still remember a surprising amout of models.. interesting industry and I ended up in IT and now Cloud security... 42 years of change.

@someonespadre Год назад

I bought a Royal Model “A” flat top (1938), for $50, seller said it would never type again. I had it typing in 3 minutes. It needs cleaning, things are sticky, dirt accumulated on the tab rack, that sort of thing. I bought it as a project machine, it’s not as much of a project as I thought it would be. It’s in fair typing condition right now. My 1937 Corona Standard flat top (base model) is in very good typing condition, very clean, decals are nearly mint-$150.

@busterbrown446 15 дней назад

Ugh, so this is why I can't find a typewriter. I really need one. Not because I'm a sheep that does whatever is on tick tock but because my handwriting sucks now, and I want to redo my recipes. If history is a reliable indicator, I should be able to get one in a couple of years when the sheep move on to whatever the internet tells them is hip and cool.

Grew up with those. They are the fastest typewriters before the daisy wheel.

@peterbullen3347 2 месяца назад

If you need the tool that manually turns this model I have one, I used to repair them in the early 80s.. the tool is needed when you need to press a key and make the golfball rotate and strike the platen.. I'll post if you want it.

Try to use one of that in your apartment at 3:00 AM. See what happens. Try to copy and paste with that. Insert all that text in a PDF and email it fast to your editor. Tywriter machines are cute, but no serious writer is using it anymore. JK wrote Harry Potter by hand and then she type writed it. Now she is a billionaire and uses a MAC Book air. George RR Martin uses a DOS terminal. Stephen King uses a computer. Ask that people if they want to go back to typewriters.

@martinomattuzzi7031 2 года назад

Well, I bełieve that a Typewriter shoud replace the pen, rather than the computer, and because it is more difficult to write on a Typewriter, I found first drafts are better on it.

@JB-uv4hm 4 месяца назад

All sorts of serious writing being done on typewriters. Always was, always will be…

@Zoltarman 4 месяца назад

Did in the past. To be a published writer you need an agent. No agent will read text by an unknown writer that don't know how to use a computer. A type machine is pretty, cool and all those things but had its inconveniences.@@JB-uv4hm

@joellebrodeur1015 Год назад

Typewriters are not shit. 80s kid and grew up with both manual, electric and early PCs (remember the big floppy discs?). We had mandatory typing classes on IBM Executive machines in the early 90s while learning to use DOS in the computer classes. Without typewriters, you would not have computers. Bonus with typewriters: doesn't crash and lose your shit like computers. It forces you to slow down and really think about what you type. It's a totally different feel and process. One day, another generation will look at smartphones (this is another 50 years) and think WTF are we staring at such tiny shit screens.

@TCM215 4 года назад

And just coincidentally of course he took his corona typewriter over with him to Australia to have with him while he had corona. Also coincidentally he did a guest spot on the simpsons where he stated that America has lost its credibility so they are borrowing some of his. The last speech he gave before getting corona he said at the start bear with me I have a bad cold! But all just a coincidence right
