Keyboard Tips: How QWERTY keyboard started, what if it was changed to ABCD? know some interesting facts...

Technology Gyan: You use the keyboard to type in a computer or phone. But have you ever wondered why the letters on the keyboard are not written in ABCD but upside down?

-This format of keyboard is called QWERTY, which has been in use for a long time. So let's know why the QWERTY keyboard was made and why it is not being replaced with ABCD.

-The QWERTY keyboard was invented in 1873 by Christopher Latham Sholes. This layout was originally designed for mechanical typewriters and was intended to prevent jamming by slowing down the typing speed.

-Keyboard layouts more efficient than the QWERTY keyboard have been designed and implemented, such as Dvorak and Colemak, but QWERTY remains the most widely used.

-But what if we give up on using the QWERTY layout and instead use an ABCD layout keyboard?

-If seen, it will make typing more comfortable, especially for those who will learn new typing. This is because the purpose of preparing QWERTY was to reduce the typing speed. Because of this ABCD keyboard can increase our typing speed.

-But it is worth noting that the most commonly used keys on the QWERTY keyboard are in the middle line, which is comfortable for the fingers.

-However, if the QWERTY keyboard is replaced, millions of computer users will have to undergo training for the new keyboard setting, which will result in losses. Apart from this, companies will also have to work afresh in adjusting the new layout with computer software and hardware.
