@automaticnba Actually it was to spread out the most common letters and make typing faster
@automaticnba You better be sarcastic rn 😭
@automaticnba It’s because people typed too fast on typewriters that the arms hitting the page would get tangled with one another. They had to make it harder for people to type but not too hard. They tried a few different iterations and they landed on qwerty keyboard being a happy medium.
@automaticnba What @mathurin_szn said is partially correct but there are better actual keyboard setups, but network effects are a thing and it’s tough to teach people new things so we converged on that standard. Same thing happened to Betamax.
@automaticnba Ur getting cooked but technically ur statement is correct, just presented vaguely and without context
