Why is the QWERTY the only keyboard used today?
The QWERTY keyboard isn't the only keyboard layout in use today, many other layouts are used to accommodate the World's languages. But it is true that it is very widespread in English speaking (or typing) countries. The layout was originally designed for mechanical typewriters. Early typewriters had a problem if typists typed too quickly. To try and slow them down, the keyboard was redesigned with the commonly used keys on the left - so 'A', 'S', 'T' and 'E' are under the weaker hand of the typist. The QWERTY layout is common because its what people have been trained to use. Although other layouts have been proposed, there isn't a clear advantage to them - there isn't strong evidence that typists can type a lot faster using "better" layouts. It has also been suggested that learning a new layout is actually harder once the QWERTY layout has been mastered, making it less likely for typists to switch to different layouts.
Note: there is also a circular key board for typing with one hand
