Word processing is the creation of documents using a word processor. It can also refer to advanced shorthand techniques, sometimes used in specialized contexts with a specially modified typewriter. The term was coined at IBM's Boeblingen, West Germany (at that time) Laboratory in the 1960s.
Famous quotes containing the word word:
“Children show scars like medals. Lovers use them as secrets to reveal. A scar is what happens when the word is made flesh.”
—Leonard Cohen (b. 1934)
