在我们日常生活中，QWERTY键盘似乎是一种理所当然的存在。然而，它的布局并非偶然，而是源于19世纪70年代的一段历史故事。这个由克里斯托弗·肖尔兹设计的键盘布局，正是为了满足当时电报操作员的需求而诞生。让我们一起回顾这段有趣的历史，看看QWERTY键盘背后的秘密吧！
We all know that the keyboard isn't actually in alphabetical order, but why?
Is there a reason why the keys are arranged the way they are?
Let's find out on today's episode of Colossal Questions.
The classic keyboard we all use every day actually has a name.
It's called the QWERTY keyboard layout.
You can probably guess where the name comes from.
Q, W, E, R, T, and Y are the first six letters on this layout, starting from the top left.
It seems like a totally random way to arrange the letters, but it turns out it wasn't an accident.
In order to understand why we went with QWERTY, we have to go all the way back to Milwaukee in 1874.
That was the year the first commercial typewriter was released, designed by a guy named Christopher Scholz.
