I remember 10th grade keyboarding class in high school, which was a required course for everyone. I’ve typed a lot more characters than I ever expected in the days since, but I’ve been wondering how much longer people would be typing, or at least typing on a physical device intended just for typing. I’ve tried the “sliding” method of typing on my phone, with limited results. Hunt and peck still seems to work better for me, and I’m getting less “big finger” errors on my phone’s small virtual keyboard.
The picture above is from the “Bain Collection” at the US Library of Congress Prints and Photographs Reading Room. I’m not sure if it’s really the very first typewriter, but that’s what’s printed on the image, and that’s what the Library of Congress is calling it.

Hmmh! Google Patent for Touchscreen keyboard? This is amazing! Perhaps the Search Engine is trying to “COMPLETELY DOMINATE” all aspect of online marketing. This could also mean the future of the keyboards that will be used for device like smartphones and tablets. This development may affect the way mobile marketing is done in the future.
