The typewriter revolutionized business. Clerical work defined women workers, and the typewriter became the main tool, or machine that women used in their "production".
Today we don't really use typewriters, we use computers. Computers do the same thing as what typewriters do. But computers have more interesting features you can do than just typing a paper. You can surf the Internet, play games, and etc.
