Listen "171: "Gratuitous Stroke""
Episode Synopsis
This week we're thrilled to be joined by Marcin Wichary, author of the upcoming and extensively detailed history of the keyboard, Shift Happens. We get into all kinds of typing-related subjects like QWERTY dominance, the shift wars of the late 1800s, and 150-year-old designs that have trickled down to software keyboards, plus a fascinating discussion about what it's like to spend seven years traveling the world to write a book of this scope and depth.Find out more about (and snag a copy of) Marcin's book: https://shifthappens.site/Support the Pod!
