The computer keyboard evolved from the English typewriter keyboard. When it first appeared on the computer, it was a type called "teletypewriter" The image of the component appears. It is a channel for inputting control information of text information.
In 1868, American typesetter Christopher Latham Sholes patented a typewriter model and obtained the rights to operate it. A few years later, he designed the keyboard layout that is still used today, the "QWERTY" keyboard. The basic principle of this keyboard is to drive a long rod through the keys. The long rod carries a hammer. The hammer hits the paper through the colored tape, leaving dark letter marks, like stamping on the paper. The same chapter.
At the beginning, Shores installed the keyboard alphabetical keys in alphabetical order, that is, the alphabetical order in the upper left corner of the keyboard was "ABCDEF". But he soon discovered that when the typist typed a little faster, the long rods and hammers of two adjacent letters might get stuck together, causing a "key jam" failure.
It is said that in order to solve this problem, Shores asked his brother-in-law, a mathematician and school teacher, for help. The mathematician suggested that he avoid glitches by separating the most commonly used letters of the English alphabet from the keyboard.
