Whose phone is this? by Ryan Brown https://padlet.com/ryan_brown9/mgxeh746pi8e Christopher Sholes en-us 2018-11-02 19:13:28 UTC 2024-10-16 02:09:01 UTC hello@padlet.com Text message exchange ryan_brown9 https://padlet.com/ryan_brown9/mgxeh746pi8e/wish/302246084 William Austin Burt: The typewriter is coming along nicely, but what is with the messed up keyboard? Did the placement of the keys in ABC order cause the typewriter to jam?

Christopher Sholes: No, ABC order did not cause the typewriter to jam. Telegraph operators will be using this keyboard before the general public does. The qwerty keyboard is easier for them to use to translate morse code.

I choose William Austin Burt as the person that Sholes was texting because Burt helped Sholes develop the typewriter. I used the conversation to explain why Sholes developed the QWERTY keyboard. Also to debunk the populare myth that Sholes developed the keyboard to prevent jams in the typewriter.

The only jobs he has ever had was being a newspaper editor and being the collector of the port of Milwaukee. After running in to issues with rasing capital he sold his paton rights to the Remington Arms Company for $12,000. But he still made contrubitions to the improvement of the typewriter for the last several years of his life, despite his failing health.]]> 2018-11-08 18:39:44 UTC https://padlet.com/ryan_brown9/mgxeh746pi8e/wish/302251988 Apps ryan_brown9 https://padlet.com/ryan_brown9/mgxeh746pi8e/wish/302262657 Mint:Personal Finance & Money
This is an app that easily shows you how much money you have and how much money you can spend can spend. This would be a good app for Sholes because as one of the fathers of the typewriter, he would need to be able to easily see how much money he has and can spend to make sure that there is enough money to keep developing and improving they typewriter.

TapTyping - typing trainer
This app is to teach one to become fimiliar with the QWERTY keyboard. Even though Sholes did invent the QWERTY keyboard, it did not mean that he knew it the best. In fact, the only reason it is in QWERTY oreder is because it would be easier for telegraph operators to decipher morse code. So therefore Sholes was not an expert at his own invention and it would proably take some getting used to.

Notebook - Take Notes, Sync
This app is for taking down notes for as many things as you need. Sholes would find this app useful because he would be able to write down modifications and ideas he has about future typewriters along with what does and dosen't work.]]> 2018-11-08 18:54:22 UTC https://padlet.com/ryan_brown9/mgxeh746pi8e/wish/302262657 Playlist ryan_brown9 https://padlet.com/ryan_brown9/mgxeh746pi8e/wish/302272270 Song 1 - Dream on by aerosmith
"Dream on"
"Dream until your dreams come true"

These lyrics would inspire Sholes to keep pushing to finish his first typewriter, despite all the failers he has had leading up to it. And it would inspire him to keep imporving the typewriter

Song 2 - Don’t Stop Believin by Journey
"Don't stop believing"
"Hold on to that feeling"

Sholes would like these lyrics because they would push him to keep developing the typewriter and making improvements to it.

Song 3 - VIENNA – BILLY JOEL
"You've got your passion, you've got your pride"
"But don't you know that only fools are satisfied?"

Sholes would enjoy these lyrics because they describe him. Passionate and proud about his invention, the typewriter. But never satsified about how it was. Always needing to improve it.]]> 2018-11-08 19:07:22 UTC https://padlet.com/ryan_brown9/mgxeh746pi8e/wish/302272270 Picture 3 ryan_brown9 https://padlet.com/ryan_brown9/mgxeh746pi8e/wish/302272328 This would be Sholes third picture. This was Sholes first offocial typewriter. Because it was what he had dedicaited the largest part of his life to, he would more than likely have a picture of it on his phone.]]> 2018-11-08 19:07:28 UTC https://padlet.com/ryan_brown9/mgxeh746pi8e/wish/302272328 Picture 2 ryan_brown9 https://padlet.com/ryan_brown9/mgxeh746pi8e/wish/302285193 The second picture is another typewriter but with a more unique design. Sholes would probably have multiple picutres of his typewriter with different designs and imporvements so he could see what looked good and worked and what did not look good and what did not work. He also dedicated a lot of time to the typewriter so he would probably have multiple pictures of it because it is what he is most proud of.]]> 2018-11-08 19:29:02 UTC https://padlet.com/ryan_brown9/mgxeh746pi8e/wish/302285193 Picture 1 ryan_brown9 https://padlet.com/ryan_brown9/mgxeh746pi8e/wish/302286231 The First picture on his phone would be the the prototype of the typewriter that Sholes designed. He would have this picture so he could look at it and decide what imporvements he should make or not make to increase the overall function of the typewriter.]]> 2018-11-08 19:31:02 UTC https://padlet.com/ryan_brown9/mgxeh746pi8e/wish/302286231
