The first writing machine was in 1714 and in 1829 the typographer was made. In 1868 Sholes made the typewriter and in 1872 Edison makes the first electric typewriter . The idea of the typewriter began with the development of moveable type in Germany in 1434. So, it really didn't replace anything, but was a further development.
