Keyboard: You must have noticed that the keys of the keyboard are not in the direct order of ABCD but in the order of QWERTY. Have you ever wondered why this format is the way it is? Now the question is also what will happen if the keys of your keyboard are arranged in the direct order of ABCD? This is an interesting question that raises many possibilities and challenges. Let us know about some possible effects of such a change.
History of QWERTY
First of all, it is important to note that the standard keyboard layout used in many countries today is QWERTY. This layout was originally designed for mechanical typewriters and was intended to prevent jamming by slowing down the typing speed. More efficient keyboard layouts have also been developed, such as Dvorak and Colemak, but QWERTY remains the most widely used layout.
What if we replace QWERTY?
What if we skip QWERTY and instead arrange the keys in direct order of ABCD? If seen according to me and history is also explored, it will make typing more comfortable, especially for those who will learn new typing. The pages of history show that QWERTY was designed to slow down the typing speed, so the ABCD sequence can make typing easier. By the way, it is also important to note that the most commonly used keys on the QWERTY keyboard are in the middle line, which is comfortable for the fingers. It is possible that the ABCD layout may cause excess stress or fatigue on the hands and wrists.
Changes will cause these disadvantages
However, even if this happens, it will be offset by the loss of retraining millions of people who are already working on QWERTY. In such a situation, they will have to train again. In addition, the keyboard hardware and software would have to be redesigned to accommodate the new layout. Investment will be required for this. For example, many computer programs are designed to work with QWERTY keyboards, so changing the layout may require changes to those programs as well.
