  • Many objects we see every day have secret features that are not so obvious. And thanks to their hidden uses those items are way more useful than you may have realized. Look at the objects around you. That cap on your soda bottle, the spare change on the table... These objects and more aren’t what they seem.
    For example, many people think that the hole in the middle of a pasta spoon is only there to drain hot water when you dish your spaghetti out of the pot. But its intended purpose starts before you even put the pasta in the water. If you fill this hole with dry spaghetti, it’ll be the exact amount for a single portion! Interested? Then check out these little-known but really cool facts!

    The typewriter one is wrong. The positioning of the letters was an attempt to separate letters that were most often used together in order to reduce the mechanism from jamming.

      Using just the top row of letters, you can spell out the word "typewriter."

    The QWERTY layout is attributed to an American inventor named Christopher Latham Sholes, and it made its debut in its earliest form on July 1, 1874 -- 142 years ago today.
    Sholes had been for some years developing the typewriter, filing a patent application in October 1867. However, the original key layout, with the second half of the alphabet in order on the top row and the first half in order on the bottom row, led to some problems. The keys were mounted on metal arms, which would jam if the keys were pressed in too rapid succession.
    Sholes' solution was separating commonly used letter pairings, such as "ST," to avoid these jams, effectively allowing the typist to type faster, rather than slower.

  • @raychang8648
    @raychang8648 Před 4 lety

    I understand why the QWERTY keyboard has stayed around: familiarity. I've been typing in the Dvorak layout for almost 30 years. Forcing myself to learn Dvorak immediately started helping my carpal tunnel syndrome clear up during a time when my job required me to type most of the day. Great video!
