Typewriter
Although the first printing press was invented in 15th century, it wss was only after the industrialization when typewriters became popular. The very first typewriter was originally designed to type numbers, but soon it started producing letters. This machine, created by Sholes, was different from other typewriters as Sholes's typewriter was able to produce both upper and lower case letters. The most important feature of Shole's typewriter is it's QWERTY layout. In QWERTY layout, frequently used alphabets that are were far aparted, preventing them from getting jammed together. At first, people's reaction to the typewriter was cold. Back then, hand-written letters were preferred in a Business setting. However, as time gose went by, typewriters gained popularity. Typewriters also increased the number of female office workers. As men were drafted for the Civil war, business owners needed more people. This resulted in a new division of work "secretaries" and many working class women moved from factories to offices. This enabled the women to enjoy higher pay and better working environment.Hey EunHye,
