The keyboard layout is an arrangement of the keys on a typewriter, computer or other typographic keyboard. Christopher Latham Sholes and partners were the ones that invented in 1867 the first mechanical typewriter. At the beginning the keys were placed alphabetically but because of the speed of typing these were broken too often so this has led to QWERTY keyboard layout.  Next step was electric typewriters and then finally the keyboards used for personal computers. According to the 1985 Guinness Book of World Records, Barbara Blackburn held the title of the world’s fastest typer. She said that it was because of the design of the keyboard (Dvorak keyboard) and of course with lots of practice, 212 wpm was her top speed.
