But have you ever wondered as to why the keyboard is not arranged in alphabetical order?
The reason goes back to the time of manual typewriters.
These typewriters in earlier days did have the keys arranged in alphabetical order.
To prevent this, the keys were randomly positioned so that the weaker fingers were needed more frequently.
This meant that people typed at a speed which the machine could handle.
As a result, the QWERTY keyboard came into existence that we find and use today.
There are varied opinions on this rearrangement of letters in the keyboard.
This random arrangement eventually became standard in computers later followed by the devices made after that.
