Have you ever wondered why the letters on a keyboard are organized the way they are? While it seems like the letters were randomly strewn across the keys, this method of organizing the keyboard was developed as a way to slow down typists. Back in 1872, typewriter users were typing too fast and causing the typewriters to jam. So, the QWERTY method actually kept the machines from breaking down and it is still used today
Originally the R was where the full stop is and vice versa. The manufacturer Remington wanted to change that to the familiar layout so that their salesmen could impress customers with the fact that
TYPEWRITER can be typed from the top row of letters.
