It was not the first foray by IBM into the manufacture of electric typewriters. The company had produced its first commercially successful model in 1935. But from the early 1950s, IBM engineers at Lexington, Kentucky in the United States strove to develop a machine that would become the ultimate electric typewriter.
The result was a typewriter that operated without type bars or a movable carriage. While retaining the conventional 'Qwerty' keyboard, the Selectric used a revolutionary sphere-shaped element - a feature that quickly became known as the golf ball - to imprint characters through a ribbon onto the paper.
The design of the Selectric captivated the market's imagination. In 1962, IBM retained talented US industrial designer Eliot Fette Noyes and his team to develop a corporate style that would set IBM apart from its competitors. The resulting distinctive sculptured housing of the Selectric was a marketing triumph. But the Selectric offered far more than mere style.

Printing was so simple once! Although the story of printing goes back to the time of ancient Greece and Rome, we will skip a bit to the 1970s. Printers were little more than typewriters, some without lower-case letters such as ASR–33. They used to sell a "clip-on" board with 53 motorized "fingers"; you would position the fingers over the keys of an electric typewriter to convert it to a printer!
A cable connected the printer to a port on a computer. Generally a printer was attached to a parallel port (often called the printer port) which has eight parallel wires to send a character of data in one fell swoop. However printers could be attached to any port available with the right cable. (Today this includes parallel ports, serial ports, USB ports, etc.) An application on the computer could print by sending the text, one character at a time, out that port. That's all there was to printing back then: the printers could only print ASCII text, and computers supported only one application at a time. Easy-peasy!
