One of the biggest changes to the typewriter over time was the introduction of the QWERTY keyboard layout. Originally typewriters were laid out in alphabetical order, and the commonly used keys would strike one another when typing quickly and become jammed.

The QWERTY keyboard layout was designed to keep the most commonly used letters away from each other in order to prevent keys being jammed.
