One reason I would add to the many good ones listed is that one can correct misspellings much faster and neater on a computer than a typewriter. I believe the typewriter was a precursor to the computer word processing programs that allow for many of the functions listed in other answers.

1) You can backspace on a computer, but not on a typewriter.
2) Computers have spellchecks and grammar checks.
3) You can cut and paste from the internet/refer to sources (in soft copy) easily on the computer.
4) You have to push that awfully irritating thing on the right side of the typewriter A LOT, you know, when it gets too far and you wanna start a new line. On computers, it takes a click of the mouse of a press of the 'Enter' button
5) You can save your work on the computer but not in the typewriter.

wow have you been to a museum? Have you ever used a typewriter? pc is better.
I have another question: Why are the keys on a computer set out the same as on a typewriter? Its not like they are going to clog up and stick like on a real typewriter.

Typewriters can jam up if you type too quickly, for starters, and it's easier to edit a paper on a computer than it is on a typewriter.
