Make no mistake, it is better than QWERTY but it’s not the best. The vowels are all clubbed to the left side of the keyboard too. Take for example, the symbols and punctuation signs, have been moved to the top-left end of the keyboard. One look at it and it should be obvious that’s it is very different. It’s drastically different from the QWERTY keyboard. The most popular keyboard layout of late is DVORAK. If revisions and improvements were made through time, we might have been using a much simpler, efficient layout today. This is inefficient and it’s responsible for a large part of the stress on our fingers. If you pay close attention to your hands as you type, you should notice your fingers travel across the keyboard to punch the keys in. It doesn’t line up most commonly used characters close enough. We’re still using it to this day, despite decades of developments in technology. It soon became a way of life, and there was strong emphasis on training people using that layout. In fact, QWERTY was created the mid-1800s and was used in early typewriters. We have been using it since the time we used our first computer or phone. We use it because we’re habituated to it. Why do we use the QWERTY layout though? It might not even be the fastest way around a keyboard. It’s on your phone, your laptop, your PC, even your Smart TV keyboard uses a QWERTY layout. ![]()
