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 .

Yes, typewriters were widely used in 1912. They were commonly found in offices, businesses, and households for various typing tasks before the advent of computers.
Electric typewriters began to become a regular thing in the 1970's, and, believe it or not, some people used them all the way until the 1990s when computers became a regular device (though most offices had computers installed in the 1980s). The final typewriters were much more advanced than you might think-- some electric typewriters from the late 1980s had LCD displays and printers that could be plugged in. It was not the typical, loud, clacky typewriter of the early 20th century.
Based on my own experience, people were still using typewriters into the 90's. Not because it was cool, but because computers were still pretty lame and not everyone had one.
