Why Keyboards in QWERTY...order?

Have you ever wondered like why the computer, typewritter and the phones' key board is in QWERTY....order? And why not in Alphabetical order?

Well, I have always wondered about it. But somewhere in the corner of my mind, I thought it works the best in this, QWERTY...order.

However, I was amazed to discover the amazing reason for not having the keyboard in Alphabetical order. And the reason is, it is to retard the typing speed. Confused?

Yeah, I was also confused first. And it's your turn now, to get confuse. LoL. But have patient. I am going to explain it.

And the explanation is, the first typing machine was invented by Christopher Scholes in 1873. The keyboard was in Alphabetical order.

However, it was found out that, when a person type the words very fast, the keys got stuck together and the machine stopped functioning. That's where, the QWERTY keyboard is been designed; to retard the typing speed. Amazing right?

Now, I hope I broke the confusion. Probably, you must have been fascinated? And yes, for that fascination, I took the trouble to type and share with you all from my QWERTY...keyboard.

And yes, as always, subscribe me at: ogenstar.com.

Thanking you.

Hello everyone, I am Karma Wangmo. I am Twenty Three. I works for the Project called 'CARLEP' based at Eastern Bhutan.I did bsc Sustainable Development from College of Natural Resources, Punakha, 2015. I am Aries. As an introductory note, i will write about myself today. Well, unlike many other girls of my age, who loves having fun and hanging out and putting heavy make-ups, I like spending time with not many people and i actually don't enjoy hanging out. And about make-up, i enjoy wearing it very lightly, occasionally. I consider whatever I am doing as my good habit. I go out for a walk and i say "my habit is good." And i watch the korean dramas and still i say "my habit is good."But i am very stubborn, meaning i don't like accepting the defeat easily. Some people says me "I am harsh and rude." They are right because i am not a chatter box. I rarely talks with other people. Most of the time, i just smile and show some ges...

My history for the blog

Blogging has never been my dream or it wasn’t actually in my mind up until I was in the final year at College. In fact, I have never heard of blogging until one of my college mates talked about his blog during our informal chit-chats.   I said inside “What nonsense is that thing called blog?”  He was saying “Blog is an online page, where we can write whatever. And it is almost like an online diary.”  Back in the room, I tried to find out more about blog. And I found out that ‘blog is an online page, like my friend said where we can publish, update and share it on the World Wide Web.’ Still, my impression was same because i felt i have no story to be shared to the world's page.  Thus, I never got curious in the blog thing and I didn’t even explore. By the way, I was facebook freak that time. And ofcorse, I am still the same. Whatever little thing I used to write other than my personal diary, I used to upload it under my timeline in the facebook. I u...

I missed my blog

I missed my blog Though it is not more than a week that I last updated my blog but why do I feel like it has been a decade ago? You know, I don’t write regularly neither I write well when I do. I have never enjoyed one of my writing as much as I enjoys of all others. However, the creation of blog ID online has like insisting me to write, almost every day. I feel like something has gone missing if I don’t write anything in a day. A single sentence or a single paragraph suffices this feelings though.  But these days, I have been out on filed, on tour. This may seem like an excuse if I say I haven’t written anything. Well, to be honest, I haven’t written anything of my interest. It is because I just didn’t know what to write? People say “For a writer, they don’t need a topic. Everything can be the topic of interest.” But you know, since I am not a writer, nothing could be my topic. This somehow made me little too much embarrassed. Saying this, it may seem like I d...
