Considering the advancement in technology why
is
the

ask me.....

That's easy - because so many people are so used
to QWERTY. It's not really stupid at all -
there was a very real reason for that layout
originally. Once it becomes the standard and so
many people are so familiar with it, it's only
logical that it will take time to displace it.

The qwerty layout was intended to slow down the
fast typists
because the keys would jam up. And that layout
also aggravates
carpal tunnel syndrome, that's why I switched. The
dvorak
layout is a quantum leap forward in ease of use,
speed
and accuracy.
