Why are letters on computer keyboard not written in alphabetical order?
It really is a shame. They QWERTY style has been around since 1873, where it was introduced on Remington typewriters. It replaced an alphabetical layout of keys; the problem was that the bars on the typewriter would get stuck together if you typed too quickly and so letters that were commonly used were separated. This made people type less quickly and the bars on the typewriter did not get stuck as often. We don’t have this problem today with our electronic keyboards, but the layout will likely never change.
