Contest Idea - ABC Keyboards
This is my second idea submitted on google’s contest. I wrote about it in my previous article.
Your idea’s name
ABC keyboards instead of QWERTY ones.
Category
Everything else
What one sentence best describes your idea?
Effectively promote ABC keyboards to cause worldwide switch from QWERTY to ABC.
Describe your idea in more depth.
Use “mobbing” on companies manufacturing computers and other devices with keyboards to convince them to use ABC type of keyboards.
What problem or issue does your idea address?
There are billions of people using old QWERTY keyboards that are not as efficient as ABC ones. Time is wasted on much longer learning, longer typing and there are more typos. There are more users and more devices each year, the sooner we switch the better. The switching period could take two years.
If your idea were to become a reality, who would benefit the most and how?
All people typing on keyboards because of faster learning to type, faster typing and intuitive usage.
What are the initial steps required to get this idea off the ground?
Contact all major manufacturers of devices with keyboards and ask them to cooperate. New devices should be produced with new ABC keyboards, there would be replacements for existing devices (on most laptops it is fairly easy to replace a keyboard). The second step is to convince consumers. Alternatively convince customers first so that they will demand ABC keyboards.
Describe the optimal outcome should your idea be selected and successfully implemented. How would you measure it?
Success if all new devices will be ABC style and many cheap replacement released, after two years most of the devices will be ABC. For all People even those who are used to QWERTY it is easy to learn ABC.
