QWERTY is the most used modern-day keyboard layout on English-language computer and typewriter keyboards. It takes its name from the first six characters seen in the far left of the keyboard's top row of letters. The QWERTY design is based on a layout designed by Christopher Latham Sholes in 1873.
I never happened to take a serious note on this fact that the keyboards which I am using and in fact, I guess, if I am right most of us are using are of the type "QWERTY". Now, have a look at your keyboard and now you would have a reason to say as to how some letters placements have significance
Not many know that QWERTY was not designed to support high speed, in fact it was otherwise.
ReplyDeleteThe keys were in an ABCDEFG layout, and the typists soon got too fast and jammed the keys.
The result - People typed slowly. No one could type fast enough to jam the keys, so it appeared his typewriter was working.
(He never thought of return springs but changed the layout to QWERTY! Huh!)
Well, after knowing this surprising fact, I guess it would be apt to say this as a perfect example of Dire Needs Calling For Qwerty Measures !!!!
