There’s much not to love about computer keyboards, according to Forbes magazine. And the time-honored QWERTY layout, the magazine argues, should top any list of keyboard-related complaints: It’s ergonomically ungainly and purposely inefficient.

So why hasn’t QWERTY been put out to pasture? Well, its chief competitor — the Dvorak keyboard — is no great shakes either, according to ergonomic experts. But QWERTY-haters have some reason for optimism: Research into optical-sensor technology, which could eliminate keyboards altogether, is becoming more popular. (Forbes)
