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

It’s used because it used to fix a mechanical problem on type writers, then when computers with keyboards came out they wanted it to be easy to switch over so they just used the same layout, it’d be too hard to switch the entire industry of both manufacturing keyboards and teaching of a new keyboard system for what it’s worth which is almost nothing
