HISTORY

OF

WORD PROCESSING

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??? NO BOOKS?

Ok. There weresome but thesewere mostly inLatin and

possessed by thechurch andaristocracy.

copied books From 1100

In the late 1450s, the

movable type of printing

was invented in Germany

by Johannes Guttenbergand his associates

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.

1 In principio creavit Deus caelum et

terram. 2 terra autem erat inanis et

vacua et tenebrae super faciemabyssiet spiritus Dei ferebatur super aquas

3 dixitque Deus fiat lux et facta est

lux 4 et vidit Deus lucem quod esset

bona et divisit lucem actenebras 5

The printing press made it

possible to produce a large

number of books (exact copies)

in a short amount of time.


10/50

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.


11/50

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


12/50

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)


14/50

1874:

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

15/50

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


16/50

1880

The typewriter model that could print on the upperside of the roller was introduced


17/50

1897

The Tab key was added to the typewriter


18/50

1920

James Smather invented the first workable

electric typewriter


19/50

1929

The first Japanese typewriter was

invented by Kyota Sugimoto in 1929


20/50

1935

IBM introduced the

Electromatic.

This became the

first successfulelectric typewriter.

It was popular in

the business

community as it

greatly increased

typing speed.


21/50

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.


22/50

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.


23/50

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.


24/50

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.


25/50

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.

1971

Toshiba JW-10

- the first word processor for the Japanese language (1971-1978 )


28/50

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.


29/50

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.


30/50

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.


31/50

1974

The dedicated word processor, developed in 1974, was

devoted to word processing only.

33/50

1976

IBM engineer Alan Shugart developed the 5 inch disk

drive and floppy disk for Wang Laboratories


34/50

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.


35/50

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.


36/50

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.

hardware type word processor.

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.


38/50

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.


39/50

With the introduction ofWordStar, several word processors

have been released and made available for both business

and personal use. Early word processors included:

Apple Writer I Samma III WordPerfect Scripsit


40/50

1983

The word processor Word 1.0was launched by Microsoft

Corporation. It was actually the first application programcreated by Microsoft and the first among all applications witha GUI.


41/50

1984

Microsoft Word 6.0for Windows became the first

commercially successful word processor for PCs in a windowsenvironment.

newer word processors with greater capabilities can be

obtained from local stores or downloaded from the Internet.
