By 1808 in Italy, Pellegrino Turri had manufactured the first usable typewriter, and by 1851 the first commercial machine had been manufactured. This meant that for the first time, business documents could be typed instead of written by hand. Around this time also, the QWERTY keyboard was introduced but only with capital letters. In 1889 the first typewriter was produced which allowed the typist to actually see what he/she was typing. By the end of the 19th century, names such as Remington, Underwood and Smith had become famous as typewriter manufacturers. During the early to middle part of the 20th century, the typewriter was king among office machinery and in 1934 IBM produced the first electric typewriter. In the 1960s, the computer was introduced into business as the machine of the future, reducing the usefulness and popularity of the typewriter. Today the typewriter has virtually gone out of use, swallowed up by the computer. However the QWERTY typewriter keyboard has remained as a piece of computer hardware. 1714 1808 1851 1851 QWERTY keyboard introduced Turri manufactured the first usable typewriter
