The story of the QWERTY keyboard.
Not the most thrilling website in the world but it's quite an interesting story behind the layout that we use almost every single day.

Interesting.....
......but perhaps less interestingly is, do you know the longest word you can type using only the QWERTY line?
Strangely enough it's "TYPEWRITER"

It's not strange at all
The original design didn't have an R in the top row, and it was changed specifically make it easy to type the product's name as a demo.
