The first practical typewriter was invented, attached to a sewing machine stand, back in September of 1867 thanks to Christopher Latham Sholes of Milwaukee.  Remember when typing was a high school class? Yes you are old if you do. The last class was taught in 2011.  Schools called it “keyboarding”.  

The only thing I learned in school was when you got called by your full name…it meant big trouble. :0|
