Detailed explanation-1: -Christopher Latham Sholes (February 14, 1819 – February 17, 1890) was an American inventor who invented the QWERTY keyboard, and, along with Samuel W. Soule, Carlos Glidden and John Pratt, has been contended to be one of the inventors of the first typewriter in the United States.
Detailed explanation-2: -Sholes worked closely with Carlos Glidden and Samuel W. Soules to create the typewriter. The three men were granted a patent for this device on June 23, 1868.
Detailed explanation-3: -QWERTY refers to the first six letters on the upper row of the keyboard. The key arrangement was devised by Christopher Latham Sholes, whose Type-Writer, as it was then called, was first mass-produced in 1874. Since that time, it has become what may be the most ubiquitous machine-user interface of all time.
