This is quite interesting. I wonder what other things we do, say, or see are influenced by the ease of that activity. The article mentioned the complexity of names, but I'm sure there are other things too.

Also, I wonder if other keyboard layouts have different effects on different people - for example Dvorak (something I've wanted to learn for a while). Or is the "QWERTY effect" something that affects society as a whole and not individual people?

ive taught myself to hate several really good songs that i cant play on guitar/piano, and learned to like other easier songs. i think the only reason i listen to the grateful dead is because half of their songs are GCD, which came in handy when i was learning guitar.

hmm, my first name is completely left handed on qwerty, but completely right handed on dvorak... this might explain my unpopularity...
