Remember the Typewriter???

For those of you

**ha ha ha**

that do not know what a typewriter is

(kiddies probably)

it is an early form of using a keyboard to type papers, letters, et cetera.

Christopher Latham Sholes , Carlos Glidden and Samuel Soulé,

invented the first practical typewriting machine in 1866 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

There are a few websites

that do a really great job of explaining how the typewriter came into existence.
