Why Your Keyboard is QWERTY, Not ABCDE?

Keyboards aren’t in alphabetical order because of old typewriters. The keys were arranged in a way that helped stop the typewriter from getting jammed. Even though we don’t have that problem with modern keyboards, we kept the same layout because people were already used to it.

Imagine telling someone to research what a typewriter is😭 Am I that old Chineke?!😭😭

Me wey from my primary 3 I saw a typewriter and I practiced with it. Una small for this app ooo. 😂😂😂

You were bone when typewriter was in use? I don't get that. Una small for this app o

I remembered back then in sec schl, this typewriting is one of the most fun class to be. Typing ASDF shift column LKJ 😆😆😂

Aside QWERTY, there are still other methods or arrangements of keyboards I've seen on mobile devices, Samsung Keyboards to be exact but I'm too used to QWERTY I couldn't start learning to use them So I'd stick with my cognitive bias for QWERTY @grok list other keyboards arrangements apart from the above

Omohh Somebody is talking about typewriter like an archeological discovery

Nice content. Just a quick observation. You can just put a photo of what a typewriter looks like and let your viewers know. Majority would just skip pass it not knowing what it is.

Wait! So typewriters are that outdated that it's being spoken of in an extinct manner? Wow! So many kids in my space. I felt X didn't have them here. Lolx

People go just sit down set camera de talk any rubbish Wey de their mind… Abi dem no teach you about this keyboard thing since jss3?

We've now gotten to the point where someone can say, "If you don't know what a typewriter is." I don old sha.

You mean this

U don't know typewriter ke..... Omo I am old o

I’ve always thought of this. Thank goodness someone else thinks like this. Insightful post. As a kid, i used to play with typewriter at home. recently someone on instagram is making well detailed art with it… and I was like,”why didn’t this cross my mind back then?”

Wondrous Annie found her way here?😩

So they didn't know the word "were" will come to existence? This theory go far 😂😂😂

Omo, I. Suppose don get 2 grand children by now 🤦 Me wey been the type letter head for my papa with typewriter that year

Gen z say she don see type writer once... The struggle we had to go through

Wrong

@TheGreatestIFE My Uncle still uses a Typewriter actively and he’s fast with it!

Whose you and I 🙄🙄, please speak for yourself I did type writing in Jss1-3, while still learning computer simultaneously.

And also over time, your brain studies where this alphabet are located, to now change it and be typing alphabetically sef go confuse you, it’s good they left it this way..

Omo na true say some people never see typewriter before oo

People dey this app wey no know typewriter???

ASDF column LKJ 😃

I was born in that age oo, go and look for your mate please

And my business study teacher told me that it’s from the name of the typewriter founder ‘QWERTY’ I have believed in a lie all my life and didn’t make any research 😂😂

I call bs… Why didn’t they space out O and P

What will happen when they eventually master the QWERTY keyboard arrangement? 😂 Because I’ve already mastered it like this.

Set camera and spew nonsense.

This is so good to know Thanks Aramide👍

This is what we use in my primary school for typing exam sheet

My primary and secondary school had typewriters tho.

Thank God we were not born when they used typewriters keh, something wey I use for Js1 to 3? Wey dey part of my curriculum?
