interior the outdated days, the telephone grew to become into designed for regularly occurring often happening, non-pc literate, non-accounting form of human beings, meaning, it fairly is for ease of use and logically start up with a million... Calculator grew to become right into a luxury for tech savvy geeks or accountants. you will observe the keyboard selection pad is laid out the comparable simply by fact the calculators. To my understanding, the reason it fairly is inverted is via the fact for immediate palms and quickly calculation (merely like the typewriter keyboard isn't arranged so as, yet in a undeniable format).

Good question!!
I have a backspace button on my phone at work, which I love! I get so used to using the phone here that I get frustrated at home when I can't hit backspace. I guess we just have to be careful to not dial wrong...

Because those who are proficient on the calculater such as bookkeepers and accountants would then be able to excel as a phone operator and like wise phone operators would be able to stun them at a bookkeeper interview
AND we just can't have that kind of mayham going on here can we?
p.s. Im still looking for the pound key on my calculator :-D

The same reason we have different units of measure...cenimeters vs inches...liters vs ounces...F vs C...etc.
