KEYBOARD

The keyboard is used to type information into the computer, or input information. Although there are many different keyboard layouts and sizes, the Enhanced 101-keyboard, introduced by IBM in 1986, has become the de-facto standard. Even today's ergonomically designed Windows keyboards are based on the original 101 layout. They simply have additional keys, which facilitate Internet browsing and Windows operations. Notebooks or Laptops have embedded keys accessible by special keys or pressing key combinations.
