History of Keyboard? Why Are the Alphabets Not in Order.?

History of keyboard? Why are the alphabets not in order.?

Initially in 1860s, the characters on the typewriters were arranged in alphabetical order. At that time a typewriter use to work using a set on the end of a metal bar which strikes the paper when its key was pressed. However, this procedure was not at all compatible to type faster. Still an operator had learned to type at speed by facing lot complications. Letters that placed close together on the keyboard became tangled with one another, forcing the typist to manually unstick the type bars. This also caused staining the document frequently and jams in typewriter machine. A business associate suggested using nice trick by splitting most commonly keys to speed up typing, so that they also do not get tangled very often. Rearrangement of keys introduced the word QWERTY, the most commonly used modern-day keyboard layout

keyboard on my laptop isnt working.?

What exactly is the problem with the keyboard? Are a few characters not activating or slow to activate when pressed? Is there no light on a few buttons or is the entire keyboard non responsive? The keyboard is just a combination of switches that sends signals to the system so if it does not work then you have a hardware issue. This is generally true as most modern keyboards do not fail often. If the software side of things has detected it and says all drivers are present then that means it's a hardware issue. I suggest buying another keyboard (wired or wireless)and attach it through USB. If there is a docking station option then that would be even better. That should bypass the current keyboard issue if indeed it is hardware related. Before you do all of this though. You should make sure that it's not a systems issue. Free up resources and have a full antivirus/adware scan. Just to make sure that nothing else is interfering with the drivers and software. I hope this helps you out and good luck.
