What are QWERTY Keyboards ?

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

What do you mean by Doodling ?

A doodle is a type of sketch, an unfocused drawing made while a person's attention is otherwise occupied. Doodles are simple drawings that can have concrete representational meaning or may just be abstract shapes.

Stereotypical examples of doodling are found in school notebooks, often in the margins, drawn by students daydreaming or losing interest during class. Other common examples of doodling are produced during long telephone conversations if a pen and paper are available.

Is quite interesting because during my childhood days my doodle design was a series of squares within squares. And a human face with a crown on top. God knows what it actually meant but atleast now i have a term to describe or give a name to that behaviour.
