Why exactly do we still use qwerty style keyboards? We don’t use typewriters anymore.

Question

I honestly don’t get why the heck we use this stupid layout… please somebody help me understand.

Answer 1

Are you willing to change your keyboard layout on your phone to a “better” layout? Are you willing to buy a keyboard for your computer that has a “better” layout? Are you willing to make a stand and create a movement politically to make legislation happen that will cause our society to transition to a better layout?

I’m going to assume no. Because the benefits aren’t worth the effort.
