In this Basic Typing film from 1944 a brief history of the typewriter is shown which includes several machines which are housed in the Smithsonian. I also like the fashion flash back this film displays. A disturbing part of history is that typing and the employment of typists was centrally focused on women & girls. I was influenced by this cultural norm as a young girl. Perhaps this is why I love typewriters to this day! |
This is the second half of the Basic Typing Film Please share with other typewriter & typing enthusiasts! I'd also like to hear some of your earliest memories with typing and on what type machine? Thanks |
