| | TWAIN - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | TWAIN is typically used as an interface between image processing software and a scanner or digital camera. | | | The word TWAIN is from Kipling's "The Ballad of East and West" - "...and never the twain shall meet...", reflecting the difficulty, at the time, of connecting scanners and personal computers. | | | The description "Technology Without An Interesting Name" originated from early working group activity, though they do not accept it as an acronym. |

| | Mark Twain Biography |
| | Envisioning time-and cost-saving benefits from the printing machine, Twain, for several years, channelled massive funds into its development, which was slow and unsteady. | | | In the following years, though, the novel gained recognition as an example of Twain's biting humor and his relentless disdain for technological development void of human considerations. | | | In the ensuing years, the book has strengthened in stature as one of Twain's key achievements. |
