When did the typewriter change into a computer?

The transition from typewriters to computers began in the 1960s and 1970s with the development of electronic typewriters and Word processors. The introduction of personal computers in the late 1970s and early 1980s, such as the Apple II and IBM PC, marked a significant shift as they allowed for more complex tasks, storage, and editing capabilities. By the 1980s, software like Microsoft Word further transformed Word processing, effectively replacing traditional typewriters for most purposes.
