QWERTY Layout
This is another one of those things which we use everyday but haven't fully paid attention on making sure it is the best system for the purpose.
Back in 1870s, when the typewriter was just invented, invented along with it was the QWERTY layout by Christopher Latham Sholes, which intentionally made sure to space out commonly used alphabets in the English language, slowing down the typing and helping the Remington typewriter not jam.
It's 2026 today. 150 years since we started using the QWERTY layout. Now we have smart guesses in our keyboards where the next word can be guessed by the computer system. Yet, the layout we use is still about intentionally 50% slower than what it could be if designed anew. There are already alternatives presented, Dvorak (by August Dvorak in 1936), Colemac (by Shai Colemam in 2006), Workman, KALQ, ATOMIK, etc.
Again, it's not about revolting against the system in use. It's about being aware of that which can better. In my post of Feb. 6th , I listed out 3 systems which we might want to reconsider the use of - Mercator, QWERTY layout, and our AD BC date system. There are sure to be a lot and lot of such systems worth bringing to the forefront.
