why the alphabets in keyboard is not in serial way.?

Answer 1

The keyboard we use is called...QWERTY
it was the result of early studies that grouped the most used letters under the users fingers when the hands are centrally placed over the keyboard.

they told me this in school 45 years ago, in what was then Typing class, No computers then.

Simple question. If you analyze all the words in the English alphabet most of the words contains some common letters. For example E, A, etc. they are mostly used keys. And again some keys are hardly used in the words. Like Z. when you are using the keyboard you put your fingers in the “Home Key Positions” (A,S,D,F for left hand and K,L,;,’ for right hand) so the most active finger gets the chance to quickly access the most used keys while the least active fingers gets the least used keys. So for this purpose the keys are arranged in a way where they don’t get a the usual A,B,C,…serial

The operative patent for the typewriter was awarded in 1868 to Christopher Latham Sholes. Sholes and his associates experimented with various keyboard designs, in part to solve the problem of the jamming of the keys. The result of these efforts is the common QWERTY keyboard (named for the letters in the upper left hand row). It is frequently claimed that the keyboard was actually configured to reduce typing speed, since that would have been one way to avoid the jamming of the typewriter.

The rights to the Sholes patent were sold to E. Remington & Sons in early 1873. Remington added further mechanical improvements and began commercial production in late 1873. Other companies arose and produced their own keyboard designs to compete with Remington. Overall sales grew, but slowly.

A watershed event in the received version of the QWERTY story is a typing contest held in Cincinnati on July 25, 1888. Frank McGurrin, a court stenographer from Salt Lake City who was purportedly the only person using touch typing at the time, won a decisive victory over Louis Taub. Taub used the hunt-and-peck method on a Caligraph, a machine with an alternative arrangement of keys. McGurrin's machine, as luck would have it, just happened to be a QWERTY machine.

According to popular history, the event established once and for all that the Remington typewriter, with its QWERTY keyboard, was technically superior. Wilfred Beeching's influential history of the keyboard mentions the Cincinnati contest and attaches great importance to it: "Suddenly, to their horror, it dawned upon both the Remington company and the Caligraph company officials, torn between pride and despair, that whoever won was likely to put the other out of business!" Beeching refers to the contest as having established the Remington machine "once and for all." Since no one else at that time had learned touch typing, owners of alternative keyboards found it impossible to counter the claim that Remington's QWERTY keyboard arrangement was the most efficient.

So, according to this popular telling, McGurrin's fluke choice of the Remington keyboard, a keyboard designed to solve a particular mechanical problem, became the very poor standard used daily by millions of typists.

Because when typewriters first came out, salesmen would show people how easy and simple they were to use by typing out the word typewriter really fast. Notice all the letters you need to spell typewriter are on the first line. Once everyone got used to the format...it would screw up those thousands of people who learned how to type with the current placement, thus changing it would cause more problems than not.
