On keyboards: unironically qwerty probably has slowed innovation. There's no way it is the optimal configuration for typing text. And even less optimal on touch screens. Compare with T9 on old dumb phones - it was new/innovative, and fast, and accurate to such a degree I could type without looking. Shame we lost it tbh

There's layouts like Sholes II, Dvořak, BÉPO, Turkish F that's optimised for speed typing.

This really made me laugh, thank you :)
