Why did the typewriter quicken the spread of technology and knowledge?

Question

this is for a really important research paper so i would appreciate true answers!!!

Answer 1

It allows one to spread knowledge faster.

It's easier for me to print 100 letter to explain the theory of relativity and share them with others then write them out long hand and only write 1.

Answer 2

The library also spreads technology and knowledge. They have books there on the history of the typewriter. Don't people ever read books anymore when they do research papers? Or do students now think they can just type a question into the computer and have their research paper pop out without having to put any thought or work into it?

Answer 3

Difficult to say. One could argue that innovation in printing, telephony/telegraphy, teletype/telex and facsimile technology had a greater and faster influence. Sometimes typewriters were even an obstacle in innovation, like the continuation of the inefficient QWERTY layout in keyboards. OTOH, the typewriter, like the telephone, had an enormous influence on the role of women in the workplace.
