How Learn typing and History

                           Welcome to लोकेश 's Typing Tutor

Introduction

Touch-typing means typing with all your fingers and without need for looking at the keyboard for finding the keys

Benefits with touch typing
Increased Efficiency
Touch-typing is more efficient because the typist uses all fingers instead of just a few fingers. As a result, typing speed will increase dramatically.

Increased Effectiveness
Touch-typing is more effective because the typist looks at the output on the screen, not the keyboard.

Less Mental Fatigue
Touch-typing is less demanding on the brain because the brain does not need to cope with two issues, that of locating the keys and focusing on the output

Less Physical Fatigue
Touch-typing is also less tiring because it distributes the total load over all fingers. Touch typing, because of its natural and flowing finger movements, results in less stress.

Less Wear and Tear
Touch-typing reduces wear and tear on the few fingers that are constantly being used. The load is spread over many more fingers and thus the risk of Cumulative Trauma Disorder is reduced.

History:

History of Typewriter







Shole was a U.S. mechanical engineer who invented the first practical modern typewriter, patented in 1868. Shole invented the typewriter with partners S. W. Soule and G. Glidden, that was manufactured (by Remington Arms Company) in 1873

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. The Personal Computer had no jamming problems and its keyboard could handle even the fastest typist. Therefore the issue of separating the keys did not pose itself.

Moreover, no attention seems to have been paid by IBM to the fact that the newly developed Personal Computer was going to be used primarily by people with little or no typing skills and to whom therefore the issue of the "QWERTY legacy" was unimportant. (QWERTY - Lesson- 4)

Because of this, IBM could have redesigned the layout of the Personal Computer keyboard to a more ergonomic and user friendly layout. Unfortunately, IBM missed this wonderful opportunity and so it is that a keyboard layout designed over a century ago, for a different technological situation, is in use on over 500 million computers today
