HISTORY OF KEYBOARD
From the 1840s until the late 1860s, typewriters were the main means of data entry and output for computing, becoming integrated into what were known as computer terminals, invented by Christopher Sholes with assistance from Amos Densmore.
The keyboard remained the primary, most integrated computer peripheral well into the era of personal computing until the introduction of the mouse as a consumer device in 1984. By this time, text-exclusive user interfaces with sparse graphics gave way to comparatively graphics-rich icons on screen. However, keyboards remain central to human-computer interaction to the present, even as mobile personal computing devices such as smartphones and tablets adapt the keyboard as an optional virtual, touchscreen-based means of data entry.
Starting out as a typewriting machine, which was made in 1868, In 1875 Sholes and Densmore redesigned the layout of the keyboard into QWERTY then in 1878 Sholes recreated the QWERTY keyboard, to the small, easily typing keyboard that we use today. In other words the keyboard started off as a big heavy typewriter to a slim and thin keyboard.QWERTY keyboard. The QWERTY keyboard was also recopied and made into
the Dvorak keyboard which wasn’t as popular. The development of the QWERTY keyboard increased, and was produced as a wireless keyboard and produced as keyboards in laptops, and finally phones like the Iphone and also the I pad,and I pod. Even until today the QWERTY keyboards development increases, and
keeps increasing.In the future Keyboards won’t look like the keyboards that they ‘look like today. In the future, keyboards will be mostly touch. No more buttons, no more jammed keys, but rather plain old touch. Keyboards will be mostly touch, like on I pod, I pads, and maybe even computers, for computers may also be touch screen in the future.
