Typrwriters and word processors are both used to produce writing in a neat, mechanically produced form, unlike handwriting which is usually sloppier. The main difference between the two is that word processors also give you the opportunity to edit what you compose before you print it, whereas with typewriters, composition and printing are simultaneous.
