QWERTY is the standard keyboard layout most of you are probably using now. Read the first six letters on your key board. Are they QWERTY? Yep that's a qwerty keyboard. Now lets a little trip to the distant past where they used-get this-typewriters. With the current keyboard they had back then they could type so fast the little hammers would get stuck. So QWERTY was brought in to slow down typing so the hammers wouldn't break. If you take a moment to look over your keyboard you'l see all the most common letters are really far apart. Why do still use it today? Because humans are stubborn and hate change.
