For me, the thought of a word processor brings to mind an office worker. I think this is because the typewriter has more than a century of history behind it, and the word processor only a few decades.

I share your opinion about typewriters. And actor Tom Hanks must share that opinion, as well, in that it has a rich history and revives a way to communicate in a more intimate and loving manner, especially after a letter is mailed.
