Word origin

The term 'word processor' originated in the 1960s when IBM introduced the IBM Magnetic Tape Selectric Typewriter, which allowed users to edit and manipulate text on a tape. Over the years, word processors evolved from dedicated machines to software applications on personal computers, revolutionizing the way documents are created and edited.
