| | Typewriter - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Towards the end of the commercial popularity of typewriters in the 1980s, a number of hybrid designs combining features of computer printers and typewriters were introduced. | | | In the developed world, with the proliferation of the personal computer with word processing software, typewriters have faded into near-obscurity and are now used mainly by people without access to, or the training to use, a computer, and for specialized applications such as filling out paper forms. | | | In the Eastern Bloc, typewriters (together with printing presses, copy machines, and later computer printers) were a controlled technology, with secret police in charge of maintaining files of the typewriters and their owners. |

| | Eric Shackle's eBook - Typewriter - a one line word |
| | Today the keyboard is a universal fixture even on the most advanced, sophisticated computers and word processors electronic technology can produce. | | | QWERTY is the modern-day layout of letters on most English language computer keyboards and typewriter keyboards. | | | Although this is no longer a consideration, with the onset of electronic keyboards, he believed that we cling to this less-than-efficient engineering rather than learn a new configuration. |

| | The simulation showed that the alphabetically organized keyboards were between 2% and 9%n slower than the Sholes keyboard, and the Dvorak keyboard was only about 5% faster than the Sholes. | | | As a partial solution to this problem, Sholes arranged his keyboard so that the keys most likely to be struck in close succession were approaching the type point from opposite sides of the machine. | | | It appears that the principles by which Dvorak ''rationalized" the keyboard may not have fully captured the actions of experienced typists largely because typing appears to be a fairly complex activity. |

| | Similarly, the manual typewriter has been replaced by a computer keyboard. | | | It still uses the same QWERTY computer/human interface, even though that interface was designed to be used with the relatively inefficient manual typewriter and is far from the optimum design for a computer keyboard. | | | Once a standard interface has been created, it would be absurdly inefficient to require all subsequent authors of computer software to create their own interface with each new program. |

| | In the United States, the most common keyboard layout for computer keyboards remains the one designed by Christopher Sholes for the original Remington "Type Writer" in 1876. | | | I just can't think of a way in which that could be done, since a keyboard layout is a permutation of a list rather than a selection from a multiset. | | | And yes, strictly speaking this is not a genetic algorithm, since the genotypes are never combined. |

| | Typewriter keyboard - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | The 1874 Sholes and Glidden typewriters established the QWERTY layout for the letter keys that is used nowadays in Anglophone countries for virtually all computer keyboards and the majority of other keyboards. | | | Many non-Latin alphabets have keyboard layouts that have nothing to do with QWERTY. | | | There were many other typewriter designs competing with QWERTY during the latter part of the nineteenth century although QWERTY eventually came to dominate the market. |
