Have you ever thought why a keyboard layout that everyday we use are generally made with such an arrangement. And whether you think whether such arrangements are the most efficient ever made, so we will be much easier and faster for us to type. Let's find out.
Well, the general keyboard layout used today (QWERTY) is actually one of the most inefficient arrangement that is intended for us-we can type more slowly. Why is that? Here it is the history of keyboard layout ..


This deals with the history of the typewriter that was found first by Christopher Latham Sholes (1868). When creating a prototype typewriter before, even so allows us to type faster. Too quickly the possibility of typing it, to the extent that problems often arise at the time. Often when the button is pressed, the trunks of letters (slug) that strikes the ribbon was experiencing mechanical failures, which is more often caused by stalks to associate with each other (jamming).

Because of confused thinking about the solution at the time, Christopher Latham Sholes ruffled precisely that order in such a way to find a combination that is considered the most difficult to use in typing. The goal is clear, to avoid mechanical errors that often occur earlier.

Finally, the composition of the typewriter is derived on the keyboard as an input to the computer and in 1973 opened as a standard keyboard ISO (International Standards Organization).

Actually there are a few standard keyboard layout used today. Call it the ASK (American Simplified Keyboard), commonly referred to by Dr. Dvorak found. August Dvorak around the year 1940.

In the current study, the Dvorak layout allows us to type more efficiently. But perhaps because of late, finally Dvorak QWERTY subject because of the dominance that has occurred in the organizations of the world at that time and they do not want to bear the risk of a rush when changing to the Dvorak keyboard layout. The only recognition is coming from ANSI (American National Standards Institute), which approved the Dvorak keyboard layout as a version of "alternative" in the vicinity of 1970.

Another keyboard layout that is still the development of the QWERTY layout is QWERTZ used in countries such as Hungary, Germany, Switzerland, etc.. AZERTY by countries France and Belgium, QZERTY, etc..
