why??????????

Question

why r the alphabets not put in a proper order in a computer keyboard? why don't they put it oder-wise

Answer 1

coz its easier the way it is....oh goodness cant even think about what would hav happend if they change the order.... we would all be illiterate again;-) lol

Answer 2

Keyboard layout
The 1874 Sholes & Glidden typewriters established the QWERTY layout for the letter keys. During the period in which Sholes and his colleagues were experimenting with this invention, other keyboard arrangements were apparently tried, but these are poorly documented. The tantalizing near-alphabetical sequence on the "home row" of the QWERTY layout (d-f-g-h-j-k-l) suggests that a straightforward alphabetical arrangement may have been the original starting point [citation needed]. The QWERTY layout of keys has become the de facto standard for English-language typewriter and computer keyboards. Other languages written in the Latin alphabet may use variants of the QWERTY layouts, such as the French AZERTY, the Italian QZERTY, the German QWERTZ, and the Portuguese HCESAR layouts.

The QWERTY layout is certainly far from the most efficient, since it requires a touch-typist to move his or her fingers between rows to type the most common letters. A popular story suggests that it was used for early typewriters because it was inefficient; it slowed a typist down so as to reduce the frequency of the typewriter's typebars from wedging together and jamming the machine. A more likely explanation is that the QWERTY arrangement was designed to reduce the likelihood of internal clashing by placing commonly used combinations of letters farther away from each other inside the machine [citation needed]. This allowed the user to actually type faster without jamming. Unfortunately, no definitive explanation for the QWERTY keyboard has been found, and typewriter aficionados continue to debate the issue.

A number of radically different layouts, such as the Dvorak keyboard, have been proposed to reduce the perceived inefficiencies of QWERTY, but these have not been able to displace the QWERTY layout; their proponents claim considerable advantages, but so far inertia has prevented any mainstream adoption. The Blickensderfer typewriter with its DHIATENSOR layout may have possibly been the first attempt at optimizing the keyboard layout for efficiency advantages.

Many old typewriters do not contain a separate key for the numeral 1, and some even older ones also lack the numeral zero. Typists learned the habit of using the lowercase letter l for the digit 1, and the uppercase O for the zero. Some still carry the habit of using the letter l instead of the numeral 1 with them when typing on a computer, sometimes leading to errors, especially when working with numerical data.

Answer 3

the alphabets in a keyboard had been arranged in order of the mostly used and rarely used

Answer 4

I guess (for some reason),the keyboard was made this way so it would be easier to type. Not a lot of people would be succesful if it was all in order, don't you think?

Answer 5

it use to be like that in type writers but people could type so fastthat words got mixed up and so they had to make them not in alphabetical order and because they typed so fast that there type writer got jamed

Answer 6

cuz they are many nationalities ans many different alphabets,and to not offend a country or other they made it this way

Answer 7

the guy who was suppose to put it in proper order was drunk and accidentally put it like that

Answer 8

cause its put the way that would be easiest for us in the order we use the words most to least.

Answer 9

I have no clue but I'm getting use to it the way it is right now and hopefully they don't change it.

Answer 10

it's the government, hon...always trying to trip us up...j/k. hehe...
