Typewriters offered great advantages over handwritten materials:

1) speed of text preparation (second only to stenography)

2) consistency of clarity and readability

3) proportional spacing of text characters

The later addition of automatic correction features, and voice transcription, made typewriters even more indispensable in business, until they were succeeded in just a decade by their electronic progeny: word processors.

The typewriter allowed the creation of easily read documents to be created by anyone.

This is an important thing when many handwritten documents are difficult to read.

It also allowed smaller type and the use of less paper for the same messages. An important consideration when transport of even documents was so expensive.

And finally when the typewriter was first introduced it allowed people to appear to be wealthy because only large corporations could afford printing.

It is much less expensive to operate.

It doesn't have a send key to hit by accident.

Since it is stand alone, it doesn't receive trash.

Since it takes more time to say and distribute something, it doesn't spew a blizzard of inanities and idiocy.

Since it is necessary to use an envelope, fold and insert into the envelope, write addresses on the envelope, get postage on the envelope, take the envelope to the mail, you have sufficient time to rethink what you are posting.
