The comp has a link for a clue. I believe that is the answer they are looking for

1873
Sholes and Glidden typewriter (also known as Remington No. 1) is released with the first QWERTY keyboard. The original keyboard layout had a period in the place of an R. When Remington and Sons purchased the designs from the invention, they moved the R button to the period’s position. This layout is still used on modern computers today.To err is human, but to really mess things up you need a computer.0
