Hopefully the default keyboard layout won't be QWERTY anymore

  It's fairly easy to learn, already universal, and there is no incentive at all for 99% of people to change it (only a fraction of the population would ever want the super fast typing, rest of us have to think hard and type few). I suspect that it'll stay around unless a new form of input device that directly interfaces with human mind is created.

    > only a fraction of the population would ever want the super fast typing I think the primary motivation for using non-qwerty layouts is comfort, not speed. Though perhaps it only really becomes relevant once one actually learns the layout (touch typing, with all the fingers), and AFAICT not a large fraction of people does that, even with qwerty.

  Why do you would it ever change, in 100 or 1000 years?

    I could see it go to ABCDE... just to help people hunt and peck better.
