QWERTY and the history of keyboards
The modern computer keyboard traces its origin to the
invention of the typewriter by Christopher Latham Sholes, Carlos Glidden
and Samuel W. Soule in September 1867. E. Remington & Sons Arms
Company produced the first typewriter in 1874.
One of the inventors, Sholes, discovered that many English
words frequently contained combinations of letters next to each other
in the alphabet, for instance, Deffect, High, etc. With the help of
Amos Desmore, a teacher, Sholes determined the combinations and came
up with the QWERTY (the arrangement of the keys in the upper row) layout
we use today.
In 1960 Digital Equipment introduces the first mini computer,
the PDP-1, for around R800,000. It was the first commercial computer
equipped with a keyboard and monitor.
