Ever wondered why keyboard not in alphabetical order??




Keyboard has become a very important part of our lives these days, isn’t it? We use keyboard everyday constantly. I don’t know how many have really pondered over why the letters are not arranged in the alphabetical order. Want to know why? Read on to find out.

So, let’s go back to the typewriters. In them, the letters were arranged in the alphabetical order. People who used it, typed sooo fast that the keys often got tangled up because the letters that often come together in words were closely placed.

To solve this, a gentleman named Christopher Sholes suggested that the letter pairs used often together should be placed in different rows. He worked for 5  YEARS to find this solution. And today we know it as the QWERTY layout.

Later, Sholes business associate sold this QWERTY layout to a typewriter manufacturer, who made certain adjustments , creating an arrangement leading to the modern QWERTY layout.

Yea, this is why keyboard is not arranged in the alphabetical order.
