For a long time, I believed the story that they QWERTY keyboard was designed to slow down typing, because typing too fast would cause jams on old typewriters, but apparently it isn’t true.

Skip to 3:00 for the part that talks about this.

    Same, I would’ve switched both at the same time but I was on iPhone at the time and it didnt have a Dvorak option. Now I’m not in pain when I type so no need to change anything
