"In the popular imagination, the transition from the world of typewriters to
the universe of computers was orderly and simple: at some point in the 20th
century, someone attached a CPU and a screen to a typewriter, and that turned
it into a computer.
But the reality is much more fascinating and convoluted. The transition was
meandering and lengthy, and traces of its many battles and decisions remain
scattered across keyboards today. And no key might better represent the
complexity of that journey than the Return key."
