Why do we still use the QWERTY keyboard?
Post Body
The layout for the QWERTY keyboard was designed to slow down typists when the mechanical arms could not keep up with the speed at which a practiced typist could go. It forced users to 'hunt and peck' and prevented the arms from jamming together when too many keys were pressed in too short a time.
Obviously, this isn't a problem anymore; so why aren't we using keyboards with a more intuitive, optimized layout?
