One of the most ubiquitous techniques for interactively entering data into a computer is by means of a keyboard. However, although the fingers of an expert typist leap from key to key with the agility of a mountain goat and the dexterity of a concert pianist, newcomers usually spend the vast bulk of their time desperately trying to locate the next key they wish to press.

It is actually not uncommon for strong words to ensue describing the way in which the keys are laid out, including the assertion that whoever came up with the scheme we employ must have been a blithering idiot. So why is it that a device we use so much is constructed in such a way that anyone who lays their hands on one is immediately reduced to uttering expletives and banging their heads against the nearest wall? Ah, there's the question and, as with so many things, the answer is shrouded in the mists of time ....		The first references to what we would call a typewriter are buried in the records of the British patent office. In 1714, by the grace of Queen Anne, a patent was granted to the English engineer Henry Mill. In a brave attempt towards the longest sentence in the English language with the minimum use of punctuation, the wording of this patent's title was: "An artificial machine or method for the impressing or transcribing of letters singly or progressively one after another, as in writing, whereby all writing whatever may be engrossed in paper or parchment so neat and exact as not to be distinguished from print."

Unfortunately, after all the labors of the long-suffering patent clerk (a man who could have benefited from access to a typewriter if ever there was one), Mill never got around to actually manufacturing his machine. (See also The first American typewriter patent and The first commercial typewriter.)
