In collaboration with: Samuel Soule & Carlos Glidden Function: A typewriter is a mechanical tool that allows an individual to type and print directly the characters on paper. It has an array of keys that strike the paper. How it Transformed the Society: By offering a new and innovative way of creating materials and paperwork using keys, it made writing correspondence more easier (Tolentino, 2023).
