Have you ever thought why the letters on the keyboard are messed up?

Looking at the keyboard of your computer, but also older typewriters, will find that “Q, W, E, R, T and Y” are the first six letters, while all are mixed up between them! But who decided this setting and for what reason he mixed the letters?…
Let’s take, well, things from the beginning! The first typewriter was built in 1868 in the USA by Christopher Sholes Latham and included a mobile mechanism with ink, a lever for the twist of paper and a keyboard with letters, which were arranged alphabetically.
From the beginning, however, the operation of the typewriters had a lot of problems, because they blocked the letters and “get stuck”, because of the great speed of the scribes. The only solution to this problem was to reduce the speed of the typists, so as not to “stick” keys. It is characteristic, indeed, that the problem were mainly the first letters of the Alphabet. Latham thought then that was the solution: I Had to… confuse the secretaries, shuffling the letters in the πληκτολόγιο!
That’s it! The thought of it was… magnificent, and the success has been reflected very quickly and in practice, demonstrating that, ultimately, the… confusion was a result. The speed of the scribes has decreased significantly, as to form no longer a word I had to “spend” more… distance with the fingers on the keyboard, but… you look a little more the letters! And -oh! the miracle – the “stickies” in the letters disappeared! The success of the keyboard “QUERTY” continues until today.
