The QWERTY keyboard layout made in the early 1870s by Christopher Latham Sholes, a newspaper editor and printer who lived in Milwaukee. It was designed so that successive keystrokes would alternate sides of the keyboard so as to avoid jams in manual typewriters. Is frequently said that the design was also created to make people type slower. Earlier designs of manual typewriters with keyboards that had letters on alphabetical order were not able to keep up with the speed of fast typers and the QWERTY keyboard layout was designed to reduce jamming.
