The document discusses the history and evolution of word processing from the first mechanical typewriters in the 19th century to modern cloud-based word processors. It covers early pioneers like the typewriter, the QWERTY keyboard layout, and IBM's introduction of the term "word processing" in the 1960s. The document then outlines the transition to digital word processors running on early PCs and Microsoft Word's evolution from DOS to Windows. It concludes by mentioning free alternatives like OpenOffice and the rise of cloud-based word processors from companies like Google.

CHAPTER 4Pre-Test
Introduction
The office of the 1970s was a noisy place. The clickety-clack sounds made by the fingers of frenetic typists emanated from bulky electric typewriters and calculators with paper tape. Telephones rang loudly and constantly. Metal filing cabinets were
continuously opening and closing. The photocopy machine was in constant operation.
A vast army of secretaries, skilled in the use of cumbersome office equipment, served as
the communications heart of most organizations. Once upon a time, many thousands of
students went to school to learn how to use these machines because they planned for this
to be their primary vocation. Skilled typists could earn up to a few dollars per hour in
the 1960s or 1970s. They would work for someone they called their “boss,” who would
handwrite notes or dictate thoughts into a tape recorder. The typist would simply type the
words, hand over the paper, and go on to the next typing job.
Today’s office is different. Although typing skills have continued to be a vital skill in data
entry, the profession of the skilled secretarial typist is essentially extinct. What killed it?
The computer and the word processor.

Solution
UNIVAC stands for Universal Automatic Computer
origon and history of UNIVAC:
->it is the first computer produced in united states for business and administrative use with fast
execution of relatively simple arithmetic and data transport operations, opposed to the complex
numerical calculations required of scientific computers.
->it was developed by J. Presper Eckert and John Mauchly, makers of ENIAC
->ENIAC, best for Electronic Numerical Integrator and Calculator and completed in 1946 at a
cost of nearly $500,000. It took up 15,000 feet, employed 17,000 vacuum tubes, and was
programmed by plugging and replugging some 6,000 switches.
-> and It was first used in a calculation for Los Alamos Laboratories in December 1945, and in
February 1946 it was formally dedicated.
->hence The first UNIVAC came on line for the U.S. Government\'s Census Bureau. The first
commercial customer to purchase a UNIVAC was the Prudential Insurance Company
->The UNIVAC was the first computer to come equipped with a magnetic tape unit and was the
first computer to use buffer memory.
strengths:
-> the Random access feature provides large file of information
-> this is readily accessible to many types of input-output devices,
->Eliminates necessity of batching items as in previous systems.Information can be fed into the
system at any time with readyaccess to balances.
->Random access feature eliminates many interim steps associatedwith other methods such as
sorting and collating. Postingscan
be made from source doczrments which are kept in their original sequence.
-> Same record filed magnetically is available to all input-output
devices simultaneously. Then all operators can post to the same
record even making entries to the same items at the same time.
->Keyboard entries can be nade directly into the system.
->Eliminates searching for a record card.
->Gives freedom in handling late items
.
->Gives freedom in handling rusk items
.
->Cirmulative total of all entries is constantly available.
->Through on-line and off-line operation, the system, can handle
weakness:
->in this systems where the reference file is large
it is necessary to accumulate batches of items for processing before the information can be
economically handled.

according to different activities.
UNIVAC with IBM:
IBM got in 1951 when it lost the Census Bureau business to UNIVAC. That setback reenergized
IBM, which had dominated pre-computer data processing.
Determined to meet the challenge—and eyeing data processing needs in the Korean War—IBM
designed its 701 computer in just one year. After that, a flurry of new models eroded UNIVAC’s
lead.
the best mechanism is
->The UNITYPER was an offline typewriter used by the programmers to write code for the
computer, while the UNISERVO could read and write the UNITYPER compatible tapes, so it
was a form of an early tape drive.
->The Tape Handlin.

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

"Impact of front-end architecture on development cost", Viktor TurskyiFwdays
I have heard many times that architecture is not important for the front-end. Also, many times I have seen how developers implement features on the front-end just following the standard rules for a framework and think that this is enough to successfully launch the project, and then the project fails. How to prevent this and what approach to choose? I have launched dozens of complex projects and during the talk we will analyze which approaches have worked for me and which have not.

4. Word Processing?
• What is Word Processing
• Word Processing: Word Processing is the
use of computers to prepare documents.
– A word processor generally refers to a
WYSIWYG ("What You See Is What You Get")
system where the formatting takes place
while you enter your text; no further
processing is needed prior to sending
your work to a printer. Word and
WordPerfect and other similar personal
computer packages are examples of word
processors.
6. The first mechanical word
processor
• The typewriter
– The concept of a typewriter dates back at
least to 1714, when Englishman Henry Mill
filed a vaguely-worded patent for "an
artificial machine or method for the
impressing or transcribing of letters
singly or progressively one after another.“
– Numerous inventors in Europe and the U.S.
worked on typewriters in the 19th century,
but successful commercial production began
only with the "writing ball" of Danish
pastor Malling Hansen (1870). This well-
engineered device looked rather like a
pincushion.
•
7. Why the QWERTY?
• ...the Universal User Interface....
– The name "QWERTY" for our typewriter keyboard
comes from the first six letters in the top
alphabet row (the one just below the numbers).
It is also called the "Universal" keyboard for
rather obvious reasons. It was the work of
inventor C. L. Sholes, who put together the
prototypes of the first commercial typewriter in
a Milwaukee machine shop back in the 1860's.
– The keyboard arrangement was considered
important enough to be included on
Sholes' patent granted in 1878
some years after the
machine was into production.
8. But when were they called
word processors?
• Term coined by IBM
– The term word processing
was invented by IBM in the late
1960s. By 1971 it was recognized by
the New York Times as a "buzz word".
A 1971 Times article referred to
"the brave new world of Word
Processing or W/P. That's
International Business Machines
talk... I.B.M. introduced W/P about
five years ago for its Magnetic
Selectric typewriter and other
electronic razzle-dazzle.“
9. Then there was the Wang
• Beloved of Wangers!
– The machine still looked like a computer,
that’s for sure. But who cared? It was
silent. It magically knew when to start a
new line – no mental arithmetic and
wrenching of a lever to tell the paper to
move up. It didn’t matter how many
mistakes you made – you simply typed over
them. Tippex became redundant. If Mr
Harris wanted to make multiple changes to
a 60-page document, it was a simple
operation, no need to retype the whole
thing. There were keys that instantly
found the word
you were looking for; went to a
particular page number, replaced
multiple instances of words.
13. The evolution of Word 2002-2010
Word XP
Word
2003
Word

Word
2010
14. New features in Word 2007
• The Microsoft Office Button
• The Quick Access Toolbar
Customizable
• The Ribbon
15. New features in Word 2010
• No button!
– In most of the Microsoft Office 2010
programs the Office Button (which was
only introduced in Office 2007), has
been replaced with a File menu. This is
not the same as the File menu in Office
2003. This new File Menu leads in to
the Microsoft Office Backstage™ view
which not only shows the popular
functions of Open, Save, Save As, Print
etc… but also the recently view files
section has been enhanced to include a
recent locations too.
16. Changes in File Extensions
• From .doc to .docx
– The standard file extension for Microsoft Word
2003 is .doc. When Microsoft launched Office
2007, users found that documents produced in
Word would by default save with a new extension
known as .docx. Documents can still be saved in
the previous version format of .doc by clicking
“Word 97-2003 Document” from the Save As menu.
Whilst the change did not pose considerable
harm to documents, if users were sending their
work electronically, they had to anticipate
whether the recipient was able to open it in
the new format.
18. Word processing in the clouds
• What Is 'Cloud Computing'?
– "Cloud Computing" is a somewhat
nebulous word to describe users
"renting" or borrowing online software
instead of actually purchasing and
installing it on their own computers.
– All of the processing work and file
saving will be done "in the cloud" of
the Internet, and the users will plug
into that cloud every day to do their
computer work.
