The original meaning of bad money to drive good money refers to the fact that in the past, when people used valuable currencies such as gold, silver and copper, they would always keep the good ones and trade the ones with poor quality first.
This principle is applied to all walks of life. For example, in your workplace, the vast majority of people follow the rules, and even if the rules are unclear or there are no corresponding rules, people will abide by the most basic public order and good customs. But there is always a person who has no lower limit on people and things, who is opportunistic, cunning and cunning, and takes advantage of others.
This "handsome" is bad money, and others are good money. Others are either bullied or become that kind of person. This is called bad money driving out good money.
But what does this have to do with computer keyboards?
The keyboard we use now is called the QWERTY keyboard, have you noticed? The order of the letters on the keyboard is strange and irregular.
You're right!
In this arrangement, it is intended to maximize the amount of finger movement wasted by the user. Someone once calculated that a skilled English typist can move his fingers for up to 25 miles in 8 hours7 km.
Why is this happening?
The predecessor of this keyboard was an English typewriter keyboard, and at first it was arranged in the order of the English alphabet to make it easier for everyone to remember.
However, due to the mechanical process limitations at the time, the two adjacent keys were prone to jamming during rapid hits.
In order to solve this problem, Christoph Scholes, the "father of the typewriter", picked out the most commonly used letters and placed them on the most weak ring finger and little finger. The layout of the keyboard is based on English words, which minimizes the sequence of two adjacent keys, thereby reducing the occurrence of malfunctions.
The problem is basically solved, but the sequelae are also left. Just one word: tired!
Later, with the advancement of technology, the problem of card keys no longer exists. Experts have researched some keyboards with the most reasonable letter layout in the English state, and it seems that they have also applied for patents, and they are full of joy and want to make a lot of money, but they did not expect the market to be recognized.
Because everyone is used to it and doesn't want to change.
For our Chinese input, the different layout of the letters does not have much impact, and there is no market.
However, it has been found that this keyboard is not friendly to people who type a lot every day, and long-term use can cause various ailments. As a result, people have invented keyboards that are more suitable for ergonomics, some are separated, and some can be used with the palms of both hands facing each other on the table, which are definitely more friendly to people than the current keyboard. Unfortunately, there is still no market.
