Is there any science behind it?. What were the keyboards before? And finally why would such a QWERTY format have been designed?. So let us know the answer to these questions here.

You look at a typewriter machine. It will have QWERTY format only. This format of keyboard was in circulation even before the advent of computers or laptops. This style was created by Christopher Latham Sholes. The letter was being used in this way in the first typewriter that came in the year 1874.

Before QWERTY was the ABCD model. Earlier Typewriter Keyboard was also in A,B,C,D format but it did not give speed in typing and it was also inconvenient. Many people experimented with something to increase typing speed but the most successful model came in the form of QWERTY. It also made typing easier and the speed was also good.

When everyone started learning a new computer as a child, it took time to find the alphabet on the keyboard. It used to take minutes to type a line. At that time, everyone must have thought that the creator of the keyboard would have no idea that instead of writing ABCD in the line, he made such a keyboard. But when I grew up, I realized that only horizontal words can be typed without looking at the keyboard.

Why this format was finally decided for the keyboard-

Typing on a typewriter was difficult because of the ABCD keyboard. The main reason was that there was a problem in typing because the words were very close. Then, E,I,S,M are mostly used in English words. Whereas, alphabets like X, Y, Z are less used. So it was more difficult. Then, in the 1870s, the QWERTY format came into being after a lot of testing.
