Will we use the qwerty keyboard in the future?

[iwasaskier]

i mean like it was invented to slow typists down during the typewriter era.. we dont use typewriters now our keys can't get stuck
i switched my computer to dvorak a couple years ago (ive gone back to qwerty due to social and professional reasons..) but it was a fucking breeze when i was on it, so many words made sense on the keys, you would never use one hand to type a whole word, like each vowel was at your right hand fingertips

i donno are we still going to use qwerty in 50 years? knowing how dated the technology was when they created the keyboard
think about how long you type per day, switching to dvorak or another faster keyboard layout would probably increase you 20 wpm (mavis beacon anyone?), that shit would add up

 

[dope-fiend]

we'll probably bioengineer little gophers to read our thoughts and type them for us or something

 

[dope-fiend]

ive never seen this keyboard your talking about by the way

 

[BigJew]

Will we use keyboards at all in the future?

 

[popNfresh44]

well ive been using it for about 10 years now, so i doubt i would change. i find it pretty logical.

 

[skiizy]

wow i had no clue what you were talking about. but that is some weird shit

 

[Fish_Sandwich.]

I had to wikipedia Dvorak but that sounds sick as fuck.

 

[eheath]

We'll probably be able to just think words and they will type.

 

[Rainbow*Stylin]

that would be so fucking sick... i hate when i think faster than i can type, i get all fucked up sometimes

 

[Scott~]

A lot of programmers use dvorak keyboards, ive thought about getting one on several occaisons, but if I buy one or sticker one or whatever, kind of a pain. Its on the list though~

 

[cmeriptahoe]

I just wikipedia'd that also. Pretty sweet but I just don't know if I could switch. Actually at this point I could probably switch because I am still relatively young, but it would take me a significant amount of time I think.

 

[Barefootin_Fiend]

i don't think i could possibly type any faster. my fingers can only move so fast.

 

[iwasaskier]

it takes 2 weeks to get used to dvorak..
just go on IM a lot, and try some papers

its honestly worth it, be prepared for the big switch bitchesssz

 

[Sky.]

i want to get one of those

 

[Sholte]

hmm i could use Dvorak.

 

[MANDER]

scientists have found keyboards that are way more effective but no body wants to change because they are used to qwerty

 

[Sewardo]

with the DVORK keyboard i would be so confused for a while cuz im so used to typin on a QWERTY style board. in the future i think we should have monkey's to type for us!

 

[WILLFRO07]

dvoark has looked sick to me for a long time, i've never been ambitious enough to change my keyboard though .

 

[AALT]

pics or it didnt happen?

 

[Malcolm]

thatd be so sick. my really good ideas only stay in my brain for like a second

 

[skifree919]

As soon as the US switches to metric, we will use dvorak
aka never

 

[Tasche]

I thought I read somewhere that they did a study and found that that type of keyboard would not be any faster.

 

[860]

i dont see the difference?

 

[shrEddie]

imagine tripping and having your thoughts typed.

 

[k-rob]

dude, that would totally fuck with WASD! i'd have to reconfigure all of the controls in my games! fuck that i don't have time for that shit i'm too busy pwning n00bs! /nerd claim

 

[skiizy]

the letters are in different places

 

[A-Style**]

so i just switched my keyboard to dvorak and its taken me at least 2 minutes to write this much, o make that 3... so weird!!!

 

[DownhillDink]

i have been debating whether to switch to the dvorak layout. it seems much better but i would have to releaarn typing so idk

 

[hartig]

so i'm just trying this now and its mad weird going from qwerty to this.

 

[james44]

seems kinda cool but this is so easy for me

 

[ryan.c]

i can basically type anything with my eyes closed and do it pretty fast. i never look at the keys, just the screen. not claimin, just sayin that after all these years of using it ive gotten used to it, so switching would be the biggest pain in the ass and would take me longer to learn and much longer to type all my shit

 

[spidey]

almost the entire world uses it i doubt it will change

 

[SKIDUBAIGUY]

We will use the newschoolers keyboard, when newschoolers dominates the world!
