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.
