Jack Genriona did not invent the keyboard; the invention of the keyboard as we know it today has a more complex history. The first typewriter, which laid the groundwork for modern keyboards, was patented by Christopher Latham Sholes in 1868. The QWERTY layout, commonly used on keyboards, was developed around the same time. If you meant a different context or specific type of keyboard, please clarify!

Oh, what a happy little question! The taser was invented right here in the United States, in good old Arizona. It was created by a man named Jack Cover back in the 1970s. Isn't it amazing how creativity and innovation can come from anywhere?
The Taser was invented by Jack Cover in the late 1960s. Cover was a NASA researcher who was interested in finding a non-lethal way to stop suspects without using firearms. He named his device the Taser, which stands for "Thomas A. Swift's Electric Rifle," after a character in a series of adventure novels. The first Taser was developed in 1969 and was initially used by law enforcement agencies in the 1970s. Since then, Tasers have become a common non-lethal weapon used by police and military forces around the world. I have a link in bio that may catch your interest. Thank you!
That is the correct spelling of "Taser" (capitalized as a trademark name). The electroshock weapon was purportedly named as an acronym for "Thomas A. Swift's electric rifle" by inventor Jack Cover, but conveniently rhymes with "laser."
