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:
“Whenever I see the word Operation, especially Trifling Operation, I at once write off the patient as dead.”
—George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)
