World Typing Day

World Typing Day emphasizes the importance of technology development! Every person in the world can type a text in a messenger and send it to a friend, set a search query in a browser, create a document and write a note, a poem, or even a whole story. The electronic format has firmly entered our lives. Let’s celebrate this holiday!

History

Remember the last time you wrote something in a notebook or diary? Yes, now the whole world uses computers, but before them there was a typewriter. Today it is a real rarity! Perhaps from it the modern keyboard passed to us. Many researchers believe that the device inspired inventors to come up with the computer.

The first typewriter appeared in 1714. It remains only to guess how it looked at that time – the researchers do not have photographs. It was created and patented by Henry Mill. There is information that the Queen of England personally signed the patent. The machine, which was already used by the whole world, was invented by Terry Pellegrino in 1808. The Italian created it especially for his blind girlfriend, who could now send letters to friends.

From that moment began the era of such devices. They were modified and tried to create the perfect option.. Mass production also began – everyone could purchase the device. Over time, the cars got better, the assortment was replenished, the layouts were more convenient.. And then there were computers, laptops, smartphones, other electronics. It’s great that we can use all this!

Interesting facts

Curious facts about the computer keyboard:

  • the most common breakdown occurs due to liquid ingress;
