The QWERTY keyboard layout was designed in the 19th century for typewriters to reduce jamming by separating frequently used letter pairs. It became the standard due to early adoption and familiarity, even though alternative layouts like Dvorak exist, which claim to improve typing efficiency. The QWERTY layout's widespread use has solidified its place in modern computing and mobile devices, making it a default choice for users. Despite its inefficiencies, the inertia of user habit and industry standards perpetuates its dominance.
