  • 1945 March 10th: Tokyo bombs, August: the A-bombs exploded some hundred meters above Hiroshima on 6th and Nagasaki on 8th each, and so on..

So the last World war was over.
Some Japanese industrialist examined American offices, and concluded little documentation efficacy of them-selves far inferior to  those of beyond the sea , Americans and Europeans have.

It had been done  some report  say like this.

So, in this stream line,  Hisao Yamada wrote about typing history.
Also, Japanese word processor had done as for a language having number of character sets over a bite.

New comers as ordinary touch typists. So, everything may feel fresh and new for them, if they are touch typists actually.
