Typewriter

In late 1873, the Sholes and Glidden typewriter started production, superceding the older 'writing ball' machine that looked like a small pin coushin. It introduced the QWERTY king of letter arrangement, probably as a way of keeping frequently used letters away from each other. The Remington typewriter would soon take over the market. This one looked more like a sewing machine, also because it was produced by the sewing machine section of the Remington arms company.

In early days of the machine, the typist herself was often called 'typewriter'

Twins were born that year, unlikely twins, the typewriter and the chromosome. The typewriter was more evidently beautiful, a carrier of language on the full moons of its keys. The chromosome was the silent younger sister, who contained a more dangerous, secret language. She was a soothsayer, she was a scroll, much like the one that is inserted into the tabeez and strung around the neck of a child. Only this scroll did not protect, it decreed..the long cell called the DNA, would tell the organism what was ordained for it, what kind of life it must live.
