The Typing Pool ………. gone forever?

I just wonder if the Typing Pool still exists in the same format as it did through most of the last century, and beyond.

The wide use of the type writer ushered it in, no doubt replacing the rows of clerks with pens, pots of ink, and candles.

And I suppose the arrival of the computer has pretty much killed it off.

Happily someone will know, and enlighten my ignorance, and add memories of working in the pool.
