The modern keyboard which we are using is called as QWERTY keyboard which is the first 6 letters of the keyboard. The word is used just because the starting characters of the keyboard is in QWERTY order. This is been used in mobile phones before it was used in Typewriters.

Who Created this keyboard and Why He didn’t arranged the letters in Alphabetical order?
The first keyboard was invented by Christopher Latham Sholes and it was the birth of the keyboard and he arranged the words in alphabetical order. Later on because of some issues it was changed.

Then the arrangement changed of the keyboard and they thought to add the key in the different order. Then afterwards the keyboard was looking like the given image below. It was looking weird isn’t it? This was the second time when the arrangement was changed.

Afterwards it was also changed just because old typewriters were getting jammed and it was really difficult for the users to type correctly.

When the typewriters types too fast the key gets jammed and when it gets jammed they need to remove the old paper and unjammed the key and which was difficult for them because whatever they have written is of waste. Then they need to wash their hands. This was the issues which were taken place. Then they need to insert new sheet and start working again.

Then Christopher Latham Sholes and his partners sold the design of the keyboard to Remington & Sons , later on they created the first typewriters and then arranged the letters in the QWERTY form. Then this layout was the default layout.

The QWERTY keyboard helps you to type in such as way that the type writers also don’t gets jammed and it makes difficult for peoples to type fast in this keyboard.

The amazing fact is that you will find the word TYPEWRITER in the first line of keyboard which is really amazing.

you are using android right, check the first row and you see, you will correctly spell TYPEWRITER

Really tired of the apostle and tontolet

I've met people who type faster that anyone can read

Am I the only one who feels OP didnt share his Point in a constructive and understandable manner?

anyway, Long story short, they were rearranged to prevent the keys from jamming...

What a way to start my week thanks OP I've learnt something this morning

Is that all

This is quite educative

If na about Tonto now e for don enter promise land.

Really educative.

But where is Lalasticlala...

Since we are now using stronger keypads & touch screen keyboards which cannot jam.

Why can't we make alphabetic order keyboards?

Interesting

Lalasticlala, I've noticed your change in behaviour in the past few days by moving Sensable and Important topics as this to Front Page. If this continues, nobody will Blow-Whistle against you again. And please stop moving News that involves that Cheeful giver called Stephanie Otobo to Front Page, she's disgracing her Community, Family and Local Government.

Nice one op

Nice one!
