Traveling Through Time: The Enchanting Story of Typewriters and Their Everlasting Appeal
A treasured reminiscence from my past, founded in my mother’s job as a diligent journalist,
is etched firmly in my memory. It was when words were recorded gracefully on the keys of a typewriter, a gadget with a captivating allure.
I sat on my mother’s lap, watching her fingers dance across the typewriter’s keyboard.
Typewriters were a standard fixture in most offices up to the 1980s. After that, they began to be largely supplanted by personal computers running word processing software. Nevertheless, typewriters remain common in some parts of the world. For example, typewriters are still used in many Indian cities and towns, especially in roadside and legal offices, due to a lack of continuous, reliable electricity.
Although many modern typewriters have one of several similar designs, their invention was incremental, developed by numerous inventors working independently or in competition with each other over a series of decades. As with the automobile, the telephone, and telegraph, several people contributed insights and inventions that eventually resulted in ever more commercially successful instruments. Historians have estimated that some form of the typewriter was invented 52 times as thinkers tried to come up with a workable design.
