Why the letters of ABC are not in the arranged form? This is an article where you will find the answer to your questions of how and why the qwerty keyboard came into being. So brace yourself because we are going to take you back when the first ever typewriter was invented.

The typewriter was first invented by Remington 1 and he placed the keys of ABC in it straight, one after another. There was a big problem faced by Remington because when he putted the ABC in its original form. The keys of ST and TH were side by side and up down to each other. When these keys in a qwerty keyboard were pressed together, the sticks of typewriter become tangled. Therefore, the typewriters stopped working and this was a serious problem.

Remington dealt with this problem by placing keys in a completely different order. The formation he gave to keyboard was which is nowadays known as QWERTY. It was used for a long time and people became familiar with this typewriter. This is why when the keyboards and computers came and replaced the typewriters, the formation of letters was not changed and QWERTY keyboards were used. Even till now we are using these keyboards.
