> Why do we all still use Qwerty keyboards? The same reason stoplights are red: inertia. In the 5th grade, we had typing class, and we got to use both qwerty and dvorak. This was some time ago, but even then, we were told that qwerty was the present and the future, and dvorak was rare and on the way out. Basically, at a young age we are told what to use, and trained to use it - the rest is history.
