When I hit an input box on my phone, a keyboard pops up on the screen, with the first row saying QWERTYUIOP, just like the Sholes and Glidden typewriter of 1878. I'm waiting for innovation on this first, then I'll look for innovation beyond CUDA.

It's very much not your legacy typewriter keyboard, even though the order of the letters is the same. Maintaining the order of a couple dozen keys is not expensive or hard.
