writing using a keyboard
From type, from Greek typos, impression
Typing taps out thoughts at the speed of fingers!
Typing was feminized after typewriter invention (1870s-1880s). Women were recruited as cheaper 'typists,' deskilling the role and creating gendered occupational segregation that persists in office labor.
Use 'typing' neutrally for the action, but recognize this gendered occupational history. Avoid assuming typists are female.
Early typists, though underpaid, gained financial independence and workplace access. Women's clerical labor built modern business infrastructure; their skills and contributions are often invisible.
