What are 2 inventions that led up to the creation of the computer keyboard?
Actually, a method of input was needed fairly soon after the first computer was invented, so the keyboard, I would have to say, would have been invented after the actual computer was invented. The first personal-ish computer used lots of toggle switches to do mathematical calculations, thereafter it was realized that a different method of inputting information to the computer would be needed. Since typewriters were already in very large use, the obvious choice for a similar design would be the typewriter's layout. Typewriters used the QWERTY layout (notice that those are the first six letters on your keyboard), thus the keyboard came into action. It was shortly realized afterwards, (or perhaps at the same time,) that there would need to be a way for that larger amount of information to be displayed, which in came the CRT computer monitor. (Remember that the cathode ray had already been discovered and put to use in TVs by a nuclear physicist more than 40 years ago, so the creation of a computer screen was more or less cut out for them.)

Give the basic component of computers and its function?
All computers currently available have similar components and functions. The obvious component is the System Box. This is most obvious in Desktop Computers. The system box used to be called the CPU - wrongly considering the confusion that caused. What the system box contains are things like a power suplly to power everything, the memory to do the work required and also to store the answers obtained fro the work, and the heart or mircroprocessor to actually do everyhing needed. The second component is the Screen to show you what information you are giving the computer, any message the computer needs to tell you, and the results the computer has come up with. The thrid component is the Keyboard to enter information into the computer, give the computer instructions on what to do with the information, and were to send the results to.

Does qwerty mean anything?
No. Q W E R T Y is formed from the six left-hand keys in the top row of letters of a typewriter (and computer keyboard, of course). The way the keyboard layout was originally organized was intended to make it easier for the letters to be operated by the different fingers of the hand. It was arranged that way, to stop the mechanical hammers holding the characters of mechanical typewriters, from hitting each other and causing them to jam. The most used letters were arranged so that they came from opposite sides of the keyboard. Other countries adopted a similar system, but may have them arranged to suit their own language. As typists were familiar with typewriter keyboards, it was a natural progression to use the same layout for computers.
What is the main difference of a Dvorak keyboard and a qwerty keyboard?
letter placement on keyboard QWERTY was simply laid out to reduce probability of hammer clashes. Dvorak was laid out to put most frequently used letters on keys under strongest fingers.
