Typewriter. ... Today, typewriters are rarely used or found and have been widely replaced by the computer with its computer keyboard and word processors. However, the QWERTY keyboard layout is still used on almost every US keyboard. In the picture below is an example of a typewriter.
It is, in fact, due to the first mass produced typewriter called the Sholes and Glidden created all the way back in 1874. The QWERTY keyboard, as it is called, was designed by Christopher Latham Sholes to put letters that are not usually typed in after another next to each other.
Later, in the 70's, several manufacterers were building various types of hardware based word processors, with small displays and limited editing capabilities. These new machines were replacing typewriters in the office pools in the early years, and started to replace the household typewriter a little later on.
