The typewriter, a mechanical device for producing written documents, played a pivotal role in the evolution of written communication before the advent of computers. Patented in 1868 by Christopher Latham Sholes, Samuel Soule, and Carlos Glidden, the earliest commercial typewriters, such as the Sholes and Glidden model, were characterized by a QWERTY keyboard layout, a design still standard in modern keyboards. These early typewriters featured a complex mechanical system where pressing a key caused a corresponding typebar to strike an inked ribbon, transferring the selected character onto paper.

Over time, typewriter technology evolved, with innovations such as the shift key for uppercase letters and the introduction of electric typewriters in the mid-20th century. The typewriter became an essential tool for businesses, writers, and professionals, offering a mechanical solution for generating neatly typed documents. While largely replaced by modern computers and printers, typewriters remain iconic symbols of a bygone era, embodying a tactile and audible experience in the act of writing that contrasts with the silent efficiency of contemporary digital devices.
