Do you know the word QWERTY?

Task 2. Read the text and answer 2 questions below. 2 points.

• Who invented the QWERTY keyboard?

• Why did the inventor put the keys in that order?

Look at your computer keyboard. Can you see the word now? The letters QWERTY are the first letters on the keyboard. Do you know why? On the very first typewriters, all the letters were in alphabetical order. Because the letters were easy to find, people typed quickly and the old typewriter keys jammed. Christopher Sholes, the man who invented the typewriter, decided to put the letters we frequently use far from each other to solve the problem. It took longer to find the correct letters and type!
