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:
“What is honor? A word. What is in that word honor? What is
that honor? Air. A trim reckoning! Who hath it? He that died
o’ Wednesday.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
