Typewriters

 The beginning of typewriters goes back to 1714 when Henry Mill filled a patent for a machine or a method to transcribe letters progressively one after another. But the first machine was actually created by Pellegrino Turri in 1808 for his blind friend. Later began the commercialization of the typewriter and a huge amount of inventors in Europe and United States worked on them in 19th century. The most influential was the Sholes & Glidden Type Writer that appeared in 1874. Christopher Latham Sholes was one of the main creators. It was a decorative machine with flowers painted on it. It also introduced the QWERTY keyboard which is with us till this day. Since then typewriters have been through a lot of changes and even though they seem hard to work on some people still love this alternative to modern day writing ways.
