National Typewriter Day is celebrated globally.
National Typewriter Day is celebrated by typewriter enthusiasts all over the world.
It is unknown when National Typewriter Day first started.
It is unknown who started National Typewriter Day.
Like any other invention, inventing the practical typewriter took a lot of effort and insight. Many people worked on inventing the typewriter. Many typewriters were invented, but many of them were not practical for writing. In 1873 commercial typewriters were made, and by 1890 manual typewriters became common in offices, and were used by professional writers and poets. Even in this modern era, this vintage writing device is here to stay despite all the advanced computers and technology.
Typewriter enthusiasts across the world honor this day by avoiding using their phone or computer (or any other modern device) on National Typewriter Day. Instead, typing letters to send to their loved ones through post or mail, or participating in typewriting contests where whoever types with the least number of errors and fastest wins. People who own classic typewriters explain the device on Facebook or other social media platforms, wear typewriter shaped jewelry, explore the collection of typewriters, or simply sit and type letters on their typewriter.
Here are some ways to celebrate National Typewriter Day; wear typewriter-shaped jewelry, try using a typewriter to write some words for your loved ones, type your favorite quote or poem or participate in a typewriting contest. Other ideas include buying poems or books which were written by typewriters. Learn about typewriting from books or buy a typewriter and practice typewriting and enjoy the sound of keys and style of writing typewriter provides.
Christopher Sholes invented the first typewriter in 1868.
Some people still use typewriters instead of modern technology to get away from distractions for a while.
It is unknown who invented the concept of National Typewriter Day, but this was the day when the typewriter got patented in 1868.
Reasons for celebrating National Typewriter Day are to honor its legacy and promote typewriters.
