Christopher Sholes was an American inventor who invented the QWERTY keyboard which is the standard way how keyboards are made in America. Before he would invent things he would have a political career his resume of political jobs are a member of the Wisconsin Senate of the 8th district and the 16th district,  he was also a member of the senate of Wisconsin from Kenosha of 2nd and 1st district. So he seemed to really be adamant about being in politics but that changed when he became an editor for a newspaper. He found it odd how typewriters were formed with the letters he then messed with the idea of having the keyes a certain way which so happens to be the QWERTY keyboard we're all familiar with.
