Why are the alphabets random on the keyboard?

Web Desk: Often we are very unaware of things that are very common or around us. Let us tell you some very interesting things in this news of knowledge.

As children, when we learned to operate a new computer, it took a few seconds to find the letters on the keyboard. We spent a lot of time searching and typing 10 words. Then everyone must have thought how stupid the keyboard maker is. How easy typing would be if these alphabets were written in ABCD with a sequence. But when we started typing without looking at the keyboard, we realized that the reversal of the keyboard characters is not a mistake but the result of many years of thinking that has made typing a game today.

Keyboard picture

In fact, the history of the keyboard is related to the typewriter. That is, the QWERTY format is running before the computer or keyboard arrives. In 1868, Christopher Latham Schulz, who invented the typewriter, made the first keyboard in ABCDE format. But he realized that the speed and ease of typing he had hoped for was not happening. At the same time, there were many other issues in this regard.

The ABCD keyboard made it difficult to type on a typewriter. The main reason was that the buttons were so close together that it was difficult to type. In addition, there are some letters in English that are used more often (such as E, I, S, M) and some words are less needed (such as Z, X, etc.). In this case, for the more frequently used characters, it took time to move the finger on the keyboard, which slowed down the typing. So the QWERTY format came in 1870 after many failed experiments. Which kept the necessary letters at the fingertips.

Keyboard use

Between these experiments came another format - the Dvorak model. This model is not famous for its buttons, but is named after its inventor, August Dvorak. However, this keyboard has not been under discussion for a long time. Because it wasn't alphabetical, but it wasn't easy. People liked the QWERTY model the most, so it became popular۔
