The 12 billion saved by Light Bulb Ban is nothing compared to the Trillions Saved by Dvorak Keyboard

July 15, 2011 - PRLog -- Gregory GOrDon is famous around the world for having had broken into Ronald Reagan's Retirement home in Bel-Air California and exposing Reagan as the anti-Christ spoken of in Revelation chapters 12 and 13.  In this the one hundreth anniversary of Reagan's birth GOrDon who claims to be The Second Christ says he is going to prove that he is a savior by saving the country trillions of dollars more than the entire United States Budget under Reagan.  How?  He is going to do it by seeing to it that the Dvorak keyboard arrangement becomes the Universal keyboard layout thus replacing the Qwerty keyboard.

"The efforts of Democrats in Congress to ban incandescent light bulbs is a great first step to introducing Design Science imperatives into the political arena,"  says GOrDon "Hopefully we can add Dvorak to their agenda," he concludes.

The Dvorak keyboard arrangement allows for faster typing than the Qwerty by putting the most used letters in the English language under the most agile fingers, in the best possible position. In order to understand the true value of this invention, we have to understand how and why the current keyboard that is used around the world, was developed.

The Qwerty or Universal keyboard came into existence in 1873. It was invented by a man named Sholes. The purpose of the arrangement of the keys in the manner that they were arranged was to slow down the hands of the typists whose hands were too fast for the machines of that time. It must be noted, that touch-typing wasn’t even thought of at the time. The machines of the time were so slow, that even when people used one finger, the machines would jam up. Sholes placed the most used letters far enough apart that this no longer became a problem. Later, with the faster typewriters and today with super fast computers, that is no longer a problem. Still, the keyboard that was designed to slow down one fingered typists, is the standard that we use.

In 1932 Dvorak did research on the most used letters in the English language. When he designed his keyboard he placed these letters in the home row where the fingers rest. An example of how much more efficient these arrangements are, is given through the following statistics. Using the Dvorak arrangement over 70% of the work is done in the home row. On the Qwerty keyboard only 32% is done in the home row. In the other rows the figures are equally amazing. In the top row the Dvorak keyboard requires that only 22% of the work be done. This compares with 52% in the top row of the Qwerty keyboard. In the bottom row of the Dvorak keyboard only 8% of the work is done, while in the bottom row of the Qwerty keyboard 16% of the work is done. All of this means less jumping from row to row is done in the Dvorak keyboard. That produces this astonishing figure. In an eight hour day of typing a typists hands can move back and forth from row to row a total of from sixteen to twenty miles on the Qwerty keyboard. On a Dvorak keyboard the figure is less than one mile.

You may have noticed that the Dvorak arrangement is over 80 years old.  At first it was a classified secret by the United States Navy.  Why, you may ask is it not the standard that is now used on regular typewriters and keyboards? The answer to that question is that many people are afraid to learn to type over again because of all of the pain involved in learning the Qwerty keyboard. Learning the Dvorak keyboard is much simpler than learning the Qwerty keyboard. It takes about one-third the time to get up to a level of forty words per minute on a Dvorak than it does on a Qwerty.

Immediate savings will come from a reduction in the more than 100 billion dollars spent on Workmen's Compensation each year.  Not to forget to mention savings in hospital bills as more than 19% of all hospital stays and 14% of all doctor's visits are caused by people seeking relief from the pain of Repetitive Stress Injuries.

Employers and Insurance companies alike should love the Dvorak Solution as for the small cost of an ergonomic keyboard like the Kenesis programmed to type in Dvorak and a two week vacation plus two weeks of full time retraining productivity will soar.

GOrDon is gathering his weapons for a full fledged assault on the Qwerty Keyboard beginning with ensuring that the legend for the Dvorak keyboard becomes standard issue on all keyboards along with the Qwerty legend.  In short the plan is to call for dual labeling of all keyboards.  To this end he is seeking to raise $ 3,000 to pay for membership in the International Information Technology Standards Committee as well as the American National Standards Institute, (ANSI) and he has placed a Chip-in widget on his home page where anyone can make a donation to help raise the needed $3,000.

GOrDon's website is a fully functioning social network where interested parties can have their own individual page and email@lightoftheworld.com .  Just as is Yahoo, LightoftheWorld.com is designed as an Internet Portal to be set as a homepage with one click access to Google, Facebook, Yahoo, MySpace and 16 other leading Internet sites.  GOrDon's black and yellow design and intriguing content is a four time winner of the International Association of WebMasters and Designers Golden Web Award.  He calls it Internet Eye Candy with multiple images and content that makes you think.
