Among the most popular treasures in the National Museum of Korea, these two Pensive Bodhisattvas are probably the greatest highlights. They are more than 1,400 years old, and both are National Treasures. They are also the only objects in the museum displayed in their own independent gallery, called the Room of Quiet Contemplation . The room was designed by Korean architect Choi Wook. You first walk from a bright corridor into a dark passage. While your eyes adjust to the darkness, your mind also begins to calm down. Then you turn right and enter a large hall, but there are only two statues inside. Because there is so much empty space around them, you naturally focus on the statues. The floor rises slightly toward them, at an angle of about one degree. You may not notice it with your eyes, but your body can sense it, so you naturally walk more slowly. Above you are approximately 21,000 aluminium rods. Their different lengths and angles make the ceiling appear tilted and endless, al...
Until the shift key came out, another key was needed to print capital letters, so the keyboard was arranged in eight to ten rows. Early typewriter keyboards were arranged strictly in alphabetical order.
Who invented the QWERTY keyboard?
In 1873, Christopher Latham Sholes of the United States typed himself when the fast-handed typists struck a strike and realized that the typewriter arrangement was in alphabetical order, which was quite inconvenient.
After consulting with his younger brother who is teacher, he found that it was efficient to arrange frequently used texts in opposite directions. Christopher Latham Sholes's brother also is one of the inventors who made the QWERTY keyboard we use today.
The layout of this keyboard was previously used by typists to type using only two fingers, but the invention of this keyboard layout prevents a situation where the hands crash on the keyboard when people type
To reduce the rejection of those who were accustomed to the existing keyboard layout, the Scholes brothers sold this new keyboard layout, promoting it as a scientific arrangement. They also emphasized that there is little need to move your finger when using the QWERTY keyboard layout.
But in fact, the opposite is true. Scholes' keyboard layout required moving a lot of fingers near the keyboard to get basic English words. But still many people believe Scholes' false advertisement. The invention of this keyboard caused a boom in keyboard productivity.
With the advent of state-of-the-art vibrating typewriters, word processors, and computers, there was no need for a bar on each letter of a typewriter, and there was no need for an ordinary keyboard layout. Many people have hung on developing more efficient keyboards, among which Dvorak keyboards have gained great popularity, but there is still no logic or product that will destroy the popularity of ordinary keyboard layouts.
