    Notes on slide 1



    Typewriters had been invented and reinvented in various forms throughout the 1800s, and even as early as 1714. The Hansen Writing Ball was one of the most innovative approaches in the mid-1800s, yet it still suffered from the same problem as its predecessors: The keys jammed and the awkward layout meant it took longer to type than to write by hand.

    Christopher Sholes, a Milwaukee newspaper editor, attempted to invent several things: a machine for typesetting (following a strike by compositors at his printing press), a machine for numbering pages in books, and what was then called a “literary piano,” a kind of typewriter with black and white keys. On his first model, his \"ABC\" key arrangement caused the keys to jam when the typist worked quickly.

    Sholes didn't know how to keep the keys from sticking, so his solution was to keep the typist from typing too fast.

    It was only when he gave one of his devices to stenographers, who subjected them to unsparing tests, that he realized how big a problem this was. So he did this using a study of letter-pair frequency prepared by educator Amos Densmore, brother of James Densmore, who was Sholes' chief financial backer. The QWERTY keyboard itself was determined by the existing mechanical linkages of the typebars inside the machine to the keys on the outside.

    By splitting up commonly used letter combinations, Sholes solved the jamming problem caused by the slow method of recovering from a keystroke: weights, not springs, returned all parts to the \"rest\" position. This single innovation helped spur the widespread adoption of the typewriter for the next hundred years.

    All about efficiency

    Analogy to Yahoo/Google -- both indexes of sites, but Google was far more efficient.

    Short for weblog, the term blog refers to a webpage with dated entries, usually organized in reverse chronological order.
