The sound of silence

Article Abstract:

The increasing popularity of the personal computer has severely impacted on the UK market for typewriters and word processors (WP). However, they are continually being updated to adapt to the changing needs of users. One innovation in the word processing market is the use of silent printing technology, mainly thermal transfer and inkjet. It is possible that laser printing could also enter the WP market. There are four main products in the typewriter and WP market. They are: portable typewriters, compact typewriters, screen-based systems and personal word processors.
