Why Keyboard Is Not Arranged Alphabetically!!!




Yes it is weird that why keys in keyboard is not set as alphabetically. What is reason behind  that ever thought about that, don't give pressure to your mind. We give you reason behind that.

Originally, the typewriters of the 1870. In that typewriter the keys  were alphabetical, where vowels are placed on top,while consonants are underneath. So what is the problem?
Typists got too fast.




Firstly, characters were mounted on metal arms or type-bars, which would clash and jam if neighboring arms were pressed at the same time or in rapid succession. Secondly, its printing point was located beneath the paper carriage, invisible to the operator, a so-called "up-stroke" design. Consequently, jams were especially serious, because the typist could only discover the mishap by raising the carriage to inspect what he had typed.

So placing character like in alphabetical manner (B-C ,J-K..) helps typist to write fast,results jam!!! Christopher Sholes found a way out. He proposed that the letters of frequently used letter pairs should be in different rows. So Christopher Sholes introduced new keyboard in which characters are placed in Q-W-E-R-T-Y manner.It makes the typist slow down and avoids jamming of typewriter..

As this design of keyboard becomes universal, still we uses Q-W-E-R-T-Y keyboard. However jamming is not problem of electric keyboard!!I hope now you have idea  why keys in keyboard is not set as alphabetically.

Why we have to fill CAPTCHA or RECAPTCHA Why RECAPTCHA or CAPTCHA introduced   We know that reCAPTCHA checks whether the information is submitted by a "bot" or Person. But why we need to fill reCAPTCHA. Let's take an example of railway reservation site where many  user visiting the site at the same time, the time taken by any user is about 5 min to fill information ,but someone is good in programming develops a code that fills the information itself in very less time.So it questioned many sites that how to check whether visitor is Person or "bot". To prevent this the concept of CAPTCHA or reCAPTCHA was introduced. What is CAPTCHA CAPTCHA is short form of C ompletely A utomated Public T uring test to tell C omputers and H umans A part. reCAPTCHA is free service from Google to protect websites from spam and abuse. A "CAPTCHA" is a turing test to tell human and bots apart. It is easy for humans to solve , but hard for "bots" an

WHY GOLDEN RATIO IS RELATED TO PHOTOGRAPHY  What is golden ratio? - In   mathematics , two quantities are in the   golden ratio   if their   ratio   is the same as the ratio of their   sum   to the larger of the two quantities. The figure on the right illustrates the geometric relationship. Expressed algebraically, for quantities   a   and   b   with   a  >  b  > 0, {\displaystyle {\frac {a+b}{a}}={\frac {a}{b}}\ {\stackrel {\text{def}}{=}}\ \varphi ,} where the Greek letter phi ( {\displaystyle \varphi }  or  {\displaystyle \phi } ) represents the golden ratio. It is an irrational number with a value of: {\displaystyle \varphi ={\frac {1+{\sqrt {5}}}{2}}=1.6180339887\ldots .} The golden ratio is also called the  golden mean  or  golden section. (source:wikipedia) -you can trace the curve of this golden ratio by making squares using fibonacci sequence{0,1,1,2,3,5,8,13,21,.....}.It is sum of previous numbers,{[0],[1],[0+1=1],[1+1=2],[1+2=3],...}.
