Remember These?

Every paper I wrote in high school and college was birthed on a manual typewriter that I lugged around for years (along with a supply of carbon paper and Wite-Out). I recently came across this post from Jesse Gaynor on LitHub, the brief video she shared put a big smile on my face: "Need a break from writing?” Gaynor asked. “Or some cinematic inspiration to begin writing? Or, just really like typewriters? Then perhaps I can interest you in two minutes, four seconds of typewriters on screen, set to Leroy Anderson’s irrepressibly jaunty “The Typewriter.”
