Diamond sutra
The history of word processing is long
and colorful
It developed not because of theavailability of any device or machinery
as technology was advancing then.
Rather, it started out of the need of
writers (not of mathematicians) to
make the physical aspect of writing andediting automatic.

DURING THE EARLYDAYS IN EUROPE . . .
No books
Illiterate population
Oral culture
Priests would announce news at church Local priests usually would not own a bible
Villagers would listen to a travelling reader
No schools (except for elites)
Feudal society Information controlled by church and aristocracy
Limiting access to information enabled
The church to maintain control over the masses

WHAT WAS THE FIRST BOOK EVER PRINTED?
IN WHAT LANGUAGE?
1 In the beginning God created the
heaven and the earth. 2And the earth was
waste and void; and darkness was upon
the face of the deep: and the spirit of God
moved upon the face of the waters. 3And
God said, Let there be light: and there was
light. 4And God saw the light, that it was
good: and God divided the light from the
darkness. 5And God called the light Day,and the darkness he called Night. And
there was evening and there was morning,
one day.

terram. 2 terra autem erat inanis et

The printing press made it
possible to produce a large
number of books (exact copies)
in a short amount of time.

HOW DID THE CHURCH AND ARISTOCRACY
REACT TO THE PRINTING PRESS?
Ignored it for
aesthetic reasons
and refused to
place hand copied
books alongside
printed books.
Tried to control it
through licenses.

WHAT WAS THE EFFECT OF PRINTING ON
LANGUAGE?
Latin was replaced by national languages
Regional dialects became standardized
Grammar, spelling and punctuation also became
standardized

1867:
The first successful
manual typewriter was
invented by Christopher
Latham Sholes with the
help of Carlos Glidden
and Samuel W. Soul
(all Americans).
But this model could
print only on theunderside of the roller so
the typist could not see
the typed document
until it was finished.

1872
Thomas Alva Edison patented an electric typewriter(no other information was gathered after this; it
must have turned out to be not working)

1874:
The manual typewriter Sholes and Glidden TypeWriter was made available in the market by a gun andsewing machine manufacturer E. Remington and Sons.

1878:
The Remington 2appeared in 1878 and was the first typewriter
to have a shift key for upper case characters and figures.
The Shift Key was added to the Typewriter

1935
IBM introduced the
Electromatic.
This became the
first successfulelectric typewriter.
It was popular in
the business
community as it
greatly increased
typing speed.

AFTER 1935
M. Shultz company
introduced the
automatic typewriter.
This model madepossible the automatic
storage of information
for later retrieval.
This innovation was
the greatest step fromthe typewriter to
modern word
processing.

1961
IBM introduced the
Selectric typewriter.
This replaced the standard
movable carriage andindividual typestrikes
with the revolving
typeball. Referred to as
the golfball or wallnut.

1964
IBM introduced the MT / ST or the Magnetic Tape /
Selectric Typewriter.
This combined the features of the Selectric model with
a magnetic tape drive. The magnetic tape became the first reusable storage
medium for typed information.

The IBM Magnetic Tape Selectric typewriter, shown in this
1964 photo, was a precursor to the word processor: It allowed
typists to create and edit a document before printing.

1969
IBM introduced the
MagCards magnetic
cards attached to the
typewriter that
recorded text as it was
typed on paper.

1971
The floppy disk or diskette was invented by IBMengineers led by Alan Shugart.
This memory disk was intended for use in numbercomputation only the type of data processing at that
time.

1972
Lexitron and Linolexdeveloped the first screen-oriented
word processing system before Microsoft existed (in
1972). It included video display screens and casette
tapes for storage.

1973
Vydec
manufactured the
first word
processing system
using floppy disk to
increase its text-
storing capacity,
and permit the
creation and easyediting of multi
page documents.

1974 - 1976
It was during the early partof this period that dedicatedword processors weredeveloped.
These systems werehardwired meaning, theirinstructions and programswere already built into theequipment.
The result was anequipment that was bulkyand very expensive toupgrade, and whoseprograms were difficult tochange.

1974
The dedicated word processor, developed in 1974, was
devoted to word processing only.

1976
The latter part of this period
also saw the most important
development in the history of
word processing: the
advancement from hardwiredsoftware to software on disks
(or disk programs).
Because of disk programs, the
development of word
processing packages for usewith general-purpose
computers has been made
practical.

1976
Altair programmer
Michael Shrayer wrote the
Electric Pencil which
became the first actual
word processing program
for personal computers(PCs).
The first computer word
processors were line
editors, software-writing
aids that allowed a
programmer to make
changes in a line of
program code.

1977
The completely assembled form of word processingpackages using disk programs was made available to
both corporate and ordinary individuals alike. This made
the separation of the hardware from the software
complete.

After this breakthrough, manyword processing programs (orsimply word processors) havebeen developed with newer andbetter features.
Examples of these features are:spell check, mailing list, capacityto work on more than onedocument at a time on the samescreen, among others.
There was also the incorporationof bookkeeping and inventory
functions, thus combining wordprocessing and data processing,the result is called information
processing. This innovationcompleted the marriage of theword processor to the computer.

1979
Wordstar was released by MicroPro International, Inc.developed by Seymour Rubenstein and Rob Barnaby.WordStar became the first commercially successfulword processor for PCs and the best-selling program
of the early 80s.

With the introduction ofWordStar, several word processors
have been released and made available for both business
and personal use. Early word processors included:
