Christopher Latham Sholes. Circa l874. He sold the patent to Remington. rather than future-shock phase-out, when these computers came along they appropriated the traditional keyboard- minimizing retraining problems, as the asdfjkl; board is standardized. Mr. Sholes also designed what is essentially the keyboard QWERT or ASDF-JKL; still in use!
an inventor called christopher sholes started to develop a workable typewriter just after the Civil War. He drew in co-inventors, and together they made improvements. I have a problem with the answer stated above. If you are takling about the US that is right but outside, no. No one person or nation created the first typewriter. To read about the various people who created the typewriter, at least who are known, is at the link. However, the first typewriter like thing was patented by Henry Mill in 1714 in Britain. *Sher101*
Encyclopedia Britannica says that Thomas Edison inventedthe first electric typewriter in 1872, but it was only used to report Stock Market transactions.
