“THAT’S THE SOUND OF TYPING. It’s the cadence of creativity, the percussion of punctuation. That sound, you’ll get lost in it. It becomes a rhythm, a music that will spur you on to other areas of imagination that you will eventually create and record forever on your typewriter..”

The best closing statement. Ever. (*crying in the corner, unable to witness them moving towards extinction)

"It's the cadence of creativity...the percussion of punctuation." What a wordsmith.

As a typewriter enthusiast I’d like to start a petition in favor of Tom Hanks starting a typewriter review YouTube channel

"You will get ink on your fingers, Deal with it." Lol. I will remember that forever

Close your eyes. You’re in toy story. It’s woody talking.

[umno]

He’s wise but slightly chaotic at the same time, I love it.

[sweetstuff]

Tom Hanks has said in previous interviews that he actually collects typewriters. So cool!

[iEddyGaming]

I don't even have a typewriter but I still watched the whole video. That's what Tom Hanks does to you :/

[xavierrosado]

That typing is the best ASMR sound ever.

Tom Hanks used to (on a type writer) make weekly letters and tell how all of the cast members were doing and he was so so caring and he still is. He did this on most of the movies he was in.

[BlackParadeMarcher]

He could narrate VCR programming instructions and I'd enjoy it

[westworlds]

Let's all applaud America's TRUE national treasure, Tom Hanks.

[deborahelle]

the distinctive voice of Tom Hanks and a beautiful typewriter. Soothing

[jbirsner]

See "California Typewriter" w Hanks and other typewriter-lovin folks. A real treat!

[classycactus]

"You WILL get ink on your fingers. Deal with it."
Lol😂😂😂

[Potomacstud]

California typewriter was a superb enlightening experience ! Superb !

[epicrandomness]

Tom Hanks being woody's voice never truly clicked until now.

[g.a.altnbay]

The setting, along with the attitude is super cool and absurd. Which reminds me "Absurd is hard to do well" . He does it well.

[Hanney]

finally, I can use my typewriter again

William Gibson's NEUROMANCER -- the book who's author coined the term "cyberspace" and co-founded the cyberpunk genre -- was written on a Hermes 2000 typewriter, the make and model of which I have scoured the Internet to find and purchase for my own collection, as yet without success. Nothing like a Hermes.
