Why the keys on keyboard are not in actual Alphabetical Order?

This question must have come to your brain that why the keys on the keyboard are not arranged in alphabetical order and instead in a different manner.Well today you will get to know about it in this article.


Well the answer to this question is related to the ancestor of modern keyboard which was then knows as typewriter.The typewriter was invented in 1867 by William Austin Burt. The components used in the typewriter included levers, ribbons and rods for the typing purpose.Every key when pressed had a specific function and a lever,ribbon an rod was set into motion.Some specific typing habits in that era caused the different keys and its components to clash with each other and cause disruption to the normal typing which would cause a great trouble in work.Keeping this in mind the qwerty keyboard was invented which made the typists's work more easier and carefree.The qwerty keyboard was such that it made the keys more accessible to the fingers than before.Now a person can learn how to type with it and can become a one hand typist in no time!This thing makes this keyboard even more special.
