Well, actually it is only a little over a 135 years old. It was created
to SLOW DOWN typists because they kept getting the keys jammed.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/QWERTY

The most common alternative to QWERTY is DVORAK SIMPLIFIED

My first computer, an Apple IIc, had a switch above the keyboard that
allowed you to toggle between the two layouts. Of course this
capability has been built into the Mac OS since at least System 7, IIRC.
