The Development of the QWERTY Keyboard Layout
The QWERTY keyboard layout, commonly used today, was not invented by a single individual but by a collaborative effort. The layout was developed by Christopher Latham Scholes, Samuel Solay, and Carlos Glidden in the 1860s. Scholes, a politician in Wisconsin, initially aimed to create a machine that would print page numbers on books, eventually transitioning to a typewriter design.
