Did you know...
The QWERTY keyboard layout was invented by Christopher Sholes in 1872 for his new typewriter design. It turns out that when you would place keys in alphabetical order, people would type so fast, that the mechanical parts (called hammers) would jam. Christopher Sholes came with the idea that in order to slow people down, you need to mess with the layout. QWERTY is also constructed that way to minimize the neighbouring keystrokes—which too—jammed the hammers. As the computers replaced typewriters, the QWERTY was adopted.
I have never understood why computer keyboards were set up that way. It all makes sense! Kind of. Haha!
