Electric typewriters began to become a regular thing in the 1970's, and, believe it or not, some people used them all the way until the 1990s when computers became a regular device (though most offices had computers installed in the 1980s). The final typewriters were much more advanced than you might think-- some electric typewriters from the late 1980s had LCD displays and printers that could be plugged in. It was not the typical, loud, clacky typewriter of the early 20th century.
