The QWERTY keyboard is not random. It was designed by Christopher Sholes in in the early 1870's.

After trial and error for several years, Sholes eventually developed the QWERTY keyboard that had the lowest rate of jamming of all designs he tried. For more information, search Wikipedia for QWERTY. Thank you.

How do you Maintain a computer Keyboard?
Never press the keys in the keyboard hardly. As much as possible, buy a keyboard with smooth keys so that typing is really smooth and easy. Do not keep buttons pressed continuously. Do not hit the keys hardly, especially the enter key. If you are frustrated or restless, find other ways of releasing it, rather than hitting the keys on the keyboard. Do not bang or move your fingers across the keys carelessly, like in a piano.
Keep the keyboard in a place that is dry and free of dust. Dust gets settled easily especially in between the keys and is difficult to remove. Buy a transparent light cover for the keyboard, so that dust cannot enter easily and you can keep the cover on while typing. However, if the climate gets humid and moist, check the cover for signs of moisture. If you see drops of water, remove the cover so that water does not enter the keyboard.
Why you use asterisk symbol instead of multiplication symbol in computer language?
Because there is no specific multiply sign other than a "x", which is used in algebraic equations and it would get confusing. Since an asterisk looks sort of like an x and has no other use in math, they used that instead.
How do you make a degree symbol?
The simplest way is to type a small letter 'o', then to format the letter to 'superscript'.
This is done by 'blocking' the letter with the cursor, and using the menu tools to format.
In a word processing program such as 'Word' the procedure would be
- type an 'o'
- 'block' it
- click on Format
- click on Font
- tick the 'superscript' box
Here is an example, showing before and after: 100 oC, 100 oC
It can also be done using a zero, but a small 'o' gives a smaller degrees sign.
It can also be done by using 'Insert/symbol', but that can take just a little longer.
Use the keyboard and type either of the following sequences:
- ALT 248
- ALT 0176
Both will achieve the degree symbol °
Tip: Hold the ALT key down while typing the code numbers. Then, when you release the ALT key, the º will appear.For more ALT key codes, see 'Related links' below.
