The keyboard, as we know it today, originated in the United States with the invention of the typewriter in the 19th century. Christopher Latham Sholes, an American inventor, developed the first practical typewriter, which was patented in 1868. The QWERTY layout, designed to reduce jamming in early machines, became the standard and has influenced modern computer keyboards. Thus, while various cultures contributed to the evolution of writing instruments, the keyboard itself has its roots in the U.S.
