Aloha Typewriter Friday!
The first commercial typewriters were introduced in 1874, but
did not become common in offices in the United States until

professional writers, in offices, business correspondence in
private homes, and by students preparing written assignments.
Typewriters were a standard fixture in most offices up to the
1980s.
