On November 21, 2012 (October 8, 2012 in the lunar calendar), the last typewriter in the world went offline. Today marks the end of an era. Brothers 'typewriter production plant in North Wales has been closed, and the last offline typewriter will enter the Science Museum in London as a symbol of the era. Since 1985, the company has produced 5.9 million Wrexham typewriters. After 130 years, it was finally completely replaced by computers. The origin of Brother Company is also very interesting to say. It was originally a company established in Nagoya, Japan in 1985: its name at the time was Yasui Sewing Machine Company. It officially entered the international market in 1954. Four years later, its European branch in Dublin was established in 1958, and 10 years later, they purchased the famous brand of Jones sewing machines. In 2012, Brother's annual turnover exceeded £ 3.8 billion. Going back in time, the world's first typewriter was first produced by Remington Company in the 1970s. Goodbye, typewriter!
