The Qwety keyboard

. At the first glance, this design doesn’t seem to make a lot of sense, but it turns out there is a logical
reason for it.

A man named Christopher sholes, the inventor of the typewriter, came up with this keyboard in the
1860s. he wanted to create a logical design. He put two rows from A to Z on the keyboard. This
happened when letters that often occur together in words, like ‘’ s’’ and ‘’I’’ were near each other on the
keyboard. The keys hit each other and got stuck, and the typist had to stop and pull them apart.

Sholes tried to figure out a way to keep the keys from hitting one another. He made a list of letters
commonly used together in English, like ‘’s’’ ‘’I’’ or’’q’’ and u. if you look at the keyboard, ‘’q’’ is on the
left side and’’u’’ is on the right side.

When we use computers, we don’t have to worry about keys crashing into one another, so QWERTY is
not necessarily the fastest and most sufficient keyboard. sSince it has survived since the 1860Sqwerty
has demonstrated its kongevity.
