There's a big chance your keyboard says QWERTY. In this episode of Vox's Overrated, Phil Edwards investigates the keyboard's history.

If you've ever been curious about typewriter history, the rise of QWERTY wasn't an accident. Typing and typewriters weren't always around, and the inventor of the QWERTY typewriter layout didn't know it would become the standard.
Over time, however, business reasons and typing education made QWERTY a standard across the industry and, eventually, for the vast majority of typists. Though there are exceptions to QWERTY's domination, for the most part, this keyboard layout remains the default even today.

Usually these types of videos have some weird twist or reasoning why something is the way it is. This is just because a bunch of typewriter manufacturers came together and said "hey let's just use that one" I see where you're coming from

short answer is, QWERTY was chosen by the big typewriting companies which had a monopoly on typewriters so qwerty became the default keyboard. The thing is, even that was never mentioned in the video. This video pretty much only talked about other typewriter layouts.

summed it up in one. any improvement, marginal or otherwise, when using other layouts would take time and effort to relearn the keyboard along with the fact that if you got used to it and someone else needed to the use the computer, they would be really confused. This is assuming you're a touch typist which is something most of us need to do in today's society. I suspect any visual typist wouldn't have such a problem transitioning, but they wouldn't really see any improvement in speed or accuracy if that is the case.

From typing like my mother, to becoming a fast touch typist on QWERTY, it took just about a few months in my 6th grade keyboarding class. Although everyone in my class was just as annoyed at having to learn the new style as you are, we all eventually picked it up by the end of the semester. I have no doubt that you could do the same. I think being able to touch type now might actually help you a bit. And while I also don't intend to switch because of convenience, I wouldn't be opposed to it if I was forced to, since it would take maybe a few weeks at most.

I never did get used to the the z and the y arrangement on the keyboard. I would have to constantly go back and edit my writing to turn my z's back into y's. Like I would write "yellow" as "zellow," or "type" as "tzpe." That's why QWERTY, or QWERTZ, will never go away. When you've been typing nearly your whole life, the muscle memory is there.

If, like me, you heard QWERTY was about slowing down typists, there's a surprising amount of literature debunking it. This paper, from 1985, appears to be one of the more influential ones in the surprisingly large field of QWERTY scholarship (and it helped this video a lot). campus.fsu.edu/bbcswebdav/users/jcalhoun/Courses/Growth_of_American_Economy/Chapter_Supplemental_Readings/Chapter_28/David-Clio_and_the_Economics_of_Qwerty.pdf -Phil

@JimCullen 6 жыл бұрын

It's not per se that it's about _slowing typists down_, though that's a fairly reasonable simplification of the truth. The arrangement was to prevent keys from jamming, as the article you link states. (Also, I found the archaic use of the term "bully", "bullying optimism" really amusing.) This, in part, means placing common key combinations far apart from each other, which can in some cases cause slow down. A slower typist is also, obviously, less likely to jam. So while it's not per se correct to claim QWERTY is "about slowing down typists", it quite clearly is designed in a way that indirectly encourages less than optimal typing speeds.

@JimCullen 6 жыл бұрын

Regarding Dvorak, it's also very important to note that its advantages are not limited to speed. Yes, it certainly is significantly faster (as the many converts such as myself can attest) than QWERTY, but far more importantly the fact that it reduces hand travel and balances out hand use means that it is also an inherently more ergonomic keyboard. You're less likely to develop RSIs regularly using Dvorak than you are with QWERTY. In today's workplace, that is *super* important.

@alphamarshan 6 жыл бұрын

Jim Cullen I switched to the Dvorak layout for a few months, and I did find it easier on my hands because there is less travel as the most commonly used letters are on the home row. However I wasn’t able to reached the sustained typing speeds I can maintain using the QWERTY layout.

@JimCullen 6 жыл бұрын

You couldn't catch up in a few months? Were you going cold turkey and regularly making sure to practise? Perhaps most importantly, did you switch you keycaps around and/or put stickers on the keys or not? Because it's actually widely regarded as a very *bad* idea to have stickers/switched keys. That encourages laziness and makes it easy to learn hunt-and-peck typing or quasi-touch-typing, but delays your ability to truly touch type. It took me about a month and a half before I was as fast on Dvorak as I was on QWERTY before the switch. After two-to-three months I had improved by about 20% over my initial QWERTY speed, where I plateaued.

Well, the topic is certainly interesting, really fascinating to know where this order of letters came from. Probably 99 % chance of having this kind of keyboard is a bit too much, I personally have QWERTZ and many countries have their own kind typography. That being said, it is super interesting the way you present this topic and make us question things we always took for granted and didn't even wonder why it is the way it is. Thank you!

@jellewijckmans4836 6 жыл бұрын

The letters are in the other they are because it's pretty easy to find out what letters are most common in a certain language. Once you have a basic layout and an idea of how people effectively type it's actually quite easy to find the optimal place to put letters within that system. It's however far harder to predict the general keyboard design that optimists typing. On one side you want to optimize for speed but on the other you end up with more errors that way which on type writers without a back key was a massive issue.
