    The whole video is really relaxing but imo the most relaxing part is when you get to the end of a line and have to start a new one. Idk I think it’s the sounds the typewriter makes as it goes over to the start again lol. This as well as the correcting of the mistakes are just a great combo throughout. Great video yet again.

      @@ravenitz fair point. My main point was all I had seen in that first 13 minutes or whatever was great. And considering the video style I made an assumption of how the entire video would be. Also all his vids are pretty relaxing so again safe assumption.

    A fun fact for those who may not know: Electric Typewriters exist!
    They’re basically what you get when you cross a typewriter with a modern computer keyboard, then motorize the typing bits! And yes, it had an exclamation point, along with just about every other symbol a computer keyboard had!
    Everything on it is automated, the line reset to even being able to just hit an enter key! Of course you can still manually adjust using knobs if you want a more precise adjustment! Some models have a cute little “boot-up sequence” where the typing bits center themselves!
    Of course, unfortunately it doesn’t have the classic bell ring when you reach the end of a line, instead replaced by an electronic beep.
    And making mistakes on one is even more annoying, since it’ll beep at you every time you make an error. Probably tracks your key presses or something. Although given it’s so old, it’s built in dictionary is outdated and will yell at you when you type words it doesn’t know.
    But in the bright side, and the coolest thing about it, it comes with a dedicated erase key! Can’t say for sure how it works, the one I inherited’s erase function doesn’t seem to work, but I think it would have automatically covered up the last thing you typed with something akin to whiteout.
    Although it does seem a tad redundant since most would have came out when the PC was around, although my guess would be that it may have been cheaper to purchase one as opposed to a PC. Plus it’d be a mobile option, so I suppose it’d kind of be a precursor to laptops in a sense!

  • @lindenbug

    I love this! It’s so fun watching and listening too the paper zoom back to the start of the next line. I watched a video where someone wrote out a letter recently, and there were a lot of cuts to keep the camera frame on the right spot, but this must have been easier on you since the typewriter moves everything for you while you can stay zoomed into one place.

    This makes me want to get a typewriter of my own. I've always wanted to start writing because I feel like its one of the very few skills I have, but never really put any effort into trying. Being ADHD I am pretty easily distracted, so whenever I've tried to write on my computer my focus is always taken away by one thing or another. An alert for a new article, a ding for a new email, a notification for a new youtube video to watch. Or porn. Porn's been a big distraction in my life that I'm trying very hard to part from. I have an accountability program that keeps me away from it, but even being near the computer can make bad thoughts come up. It's like being near the gates of Disneyland. Sure I have the gate and the watchmen to keep me from getting inside the park, but its hard to keep your mind off Disneyland when you constantly keep coming back to the gates.
    Perhaps having a typewriter somewhere away from the computer will be good for me. A manual one like like this, too. No power, no distractions, just me, the clunky, clickety keys, and the page, far away from the gates of Pornland. I've no idea what kinds of keyboards are good though. Guess there's only one way to find out. Time to start looking!
