| | Typewriter - definition of Typewriter in 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 forms. | | | The final major development of the typewriter was the "electronic" typewriter. |

| | Typewriters are now so efficient and versatile that they can be used virtually anywhere: to print out information stored on computers, to prepare continuous business forms, and to make it easier and less expensive for individuals and companies to communicate with one another. | | | While today the typewriter is virtually indispensable in offices, the man who developed the machine over a 100 years ago fretted that it would be little more than a fad. | | | The IBM Memory 100 Typewriter, with a 100 page built-in action file, was introduced in 1977. |

| | As was true of earlier single-element typewriters, the type-element on the Selectric could be changed to permit writing in different fonts and languages. | | | One reason that keyboard machines with type-bars were dominant in offices from the 1880s through the 1950s is that these typewriters were faster than single-element keyboard typewriters or index typewriters. | | | Upstrikes were blind-writers: they printed on the underside of the platen, and operators therefore could not see their work while they were typing. |
