Sholes invented the typewriter with partners S. W. Soule and G. Glidden, that was manufactured (by Remington Arms Company) in 1873. History of Keyboard : History of Keyboard Perhaps the most attention paid to the keyboard as a human interface was by IBM in 1984, and was in regard to the compatibility of the layout of the Personal Computer that it had just developed with the layout of the Selectric™ typewriter. Position : Position Incorrect positioning at the computer and harmful typing habits may cause harmful effects on your body you need to know the safe position. Keep your head straight In order to prevent neck pains and headaches, it is important to keep your head up but not tilted back. Adjust your monitor The monitor should be placed so that you can see over its top edge. This is because eyes are more comfortable when they are looking slightly downward Lean slightly forward Leaning slightly forward from the hip balances your weight and allows your back muscles to relax. Position : Position Centre your body in front of the keyboard Cantering the body balances the weight of the body and relieves muscle strain. Cantering the body also lets you keep your wrists straight. Relax your shoulders Tensing the shoulders can lead to pain and muscle fatigue. Keep your feet flat on the floor Try to keep your feet flat on the floor to support and balance your body weight. Keep your knees square so that the chair does not compress blood vessels and nerves in the back of your legs. This allows for better circulation. Position : Position Keep your elbows close to your body Keeping your elbows close to your body helps keep your wrists straight and allows shoulder muscles to relax. Keep your wrists parallel to the keyboard Keep your wrists flat and straight and your forearms parallel to the slope of the keyboard. If your elbows are lower than the keyboard, tip the keyboard up in order to keep the wrists parallel to the keyboard. Position : Position Keep your wrists off the computer Never rest your palms on the keyboard or place your wrists on a wrist rest while you type Usually, your body warns against injury by sending pain signals to the brain. Injuries from unsafe posture occur over a long time so you don't feel pain right away. When you do feel discomfort, damage may already be done. Even if you are not feeling pain now, it is important to keep safe positioning to avoid problems. Keyboard : Keyboard The modern computer keyboard traces its origin to the invention of the typewriter in September 1867 A few key technological developments created the transition of the typewriter into the computer keyboard. The teletype machine, introduced in the 1930s, combined the technology of the typewriter (used as an input and a printing device) with the telegraph. The Keyboard is a Complex Device : The Keyboard is a Complex Device The keyboard is a complex device; it typically possesses over 100 keys generating approximately 120 different symbols or control characters (not counting capitalized forms) and this makes it difficult to commit to memory the layout. In the keyboard, the keys most frequently used, such as the letters, the numbers, the symbol keys and the standard function keys, such as Shift, Enter and Backspace, are in the "touch" area of the keyboard and account for most of the keystrokes the user makes. Special function keys, such as Esc key and the directional arrow keys, which are used less frequently, are in “non-touch” locations and require the user to move the hand away from the home position to strike them. The QWERTY Layout : The QWERTY Layout The QWERTY Layout : The QWERTY Layout To address this, Sholes had an ingenious idea. He discovered that many English words contained combinations of letters next to each other in the alphabet, for instance ABBey, DEFEct, HIGh, etc., which occurred frequently. With the help of a teacher called Amos Desmore, Sholes determined the combinations that occurred most frequently, split them and placed the component letters far away on the keyboard of his machine. And this is how the QWERTY layout was born. (The layout is referred to as “QWERTY” because of the arrangemewnt of the keys in the upper row) The Dvorak Layout : The Dvorak Layout The Dvorak Layout : The Dvorak Layout Dvorak analyzed the English language to determine which letters were most frequently used. He then rearranged the keyboard layout so that these keys were positioned on the home row, that is, the row under the fingers of a typist in the rest position. By grouping the keys so that the most used keys were closest to the typist's fingers, reach was minimized and typing speed was increased. The introduction of the Dvorak layout, despite its efficiency, was not successful because the QWERTY layout had become a defacto standard and no typewriter manufacturer wished to introduce a product that would require its users to have to retrain the manner in which they worked. Keys : Keys Home Row The fingers of an experienced typist never "rest". However, if we could ask the fingers where they spend most of their time, it is over the home row. When you are still learning to keyboard, be careful to keep at least one finger of each hand anchored over the home row Upper Row Upper row is located just above the Home row. Upper contains highest number of characters Keys : Keys Lower Row Lower row is located just below the Home row. Numbers Row Numbers Row is located above the upper row, Slide 16: Number keys also available in a separate place at the right side of the keyboard Lower Row Lower row is located just below the Home row. Four arrow keys are located at the right side of the keyboard, arrow keys are to move curser up, down, left and right. Special Keys : Special Keys Return Key or Enter Key Special Keys : Special Keys The Space Bar The space bar is one of the more frequently used keys. Press the space bar with thumb to add a space between letters and sentences Tab Key: Inserts tab at cursor Return Key or Enter Key: Press for new line at cursor. To start typing on a new line press the Enter key Special Keys : Special Keys Shift Key: To switch between upper / lower case use always free hand (not used for typing current character) For example: “Right-Shift” + “a” for “A” “Left -Shift” + “l” for “L Alt Key: Hold and press Alt combination keys Control Key: Hold and press Ctrl combo keys Caps Lock: Push to lock and unlock capitals Fingers : Fingers The main purpose of fingers lesson is to provide instruction by naming the finger to use for each key. This is why you need to know each finger's name. Learn each finger name and their position on keyboard. Finger Names and Position : Finger Names and Position Place your hands over the keyboard and curl your fingers (do not bend your wrists). Place your fingers on home keys as shown below Left hand Home key Little finger a Ring finger s Middle finger d Index finger f Thumb space bar Right hand Home key Little finger ; Ring finger l Middle finger k Index finger j Thumb Fingers Usage The fingers used for pressing each key are shown below and the colour of the key is shown with same colour of the related finger.

You can print this page out for future reference. Fingers Usage : Fingers Usage Anchoring Anchoring does not mean to keep a finger "glued" on a key. Anchoring means to keep a finger in very light contact with its home row key. Ballistic Stroking This method of typing, which takes advantage of the light-touch electronic keyboard, requires less work and causes less strain. In ballistic stroking you do not raise and lower your fingers to strike the keys. Fingers move inward toward your palm like they are running in place. This stroke uses fast strong muscles and allows them to relax between strokes. It uses only a fraction of the energy required by other techniques. Common Errors: : Common Errors: Type of Error Probable Cause Correction Steps Adjacent-key; Fingers out of typing Check hand-and-finger long-reach position; bouncing position; bouncing Key hands and arms stroking action Uneven Failure to strike each Concentrate on uniform key stroking key with uniform force key stroking, especially with third and fourth fingers.
