why a computer key board donot have letters in alphaphatical order?

Answer 1

Our five fingers are not ordered and more so the human brain. It is zig - zag in nature before it comes to set for one aspect after few thought walks.

Answer 2

As someone said in the olden days when manual typewriters were used if someone would type at high speeds the keys hitting the ink ribbon would interlock or jam and sometimes would even break. To avoid this the typewriter keyboard was designed such that high speeds would be avoided by placing the letters in a haphazard way so that people could not remember the placement of keys easily. And since computers have evolved from typewriters, it was planned to keep the same configuration so as to avoid problems for the typists community who had already expertised the use of QWERTY key board. I guess you have some unconventional keyboards available in the market which donot follow qwerty. But they are uncommon,

Answer 3

The keys are arranged in the order of maximum use being positioned at the extremes and the least used ones being kept at the middle. This tradition from the old Remington and Underwood typewriters became universal standard and have been adopted by the Computer Keyboards also.

Answer 4

the computer keyboard is set up the same as a typewriter keyboard. Don't really know why it is set up this way....when i took my first typing class in the 60's it was never explained why. we were taught to look at a big graphic at the front of the class room which had all the keys marked. no letters were on the actual keyboard. this is how we were taught to type without looking at the keys. this system really works. to this day the only time i make a mistake typing is when i look at the keys.

Answer 5

Very good question. I don't think you have the answer yet. I would also like to know. abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz, still not sure. I'm going to do some research. My guess would be that it is in this order so that it requires memorizing the keys and with enough practice your brain imprints it within itself and the connection to your finger tips is like talking.

Similar process as "Signing", Braille, Morse Code, Signaling and many other forms of communication.

The brain is an amazing computer.

Answer 6

Back when there were no computers but only manual type writers the keyboard was engineered to actually slow down typing speed because the machine would get all tangled up by people trying to type too fast. Although that is no longer a problem with computers the keyboard remains the same.

Answer 7

A lot of research and thinking seems to have been the reason for it.Even if anyone examines the commonly used words, and imagine the letters in alphabetical order to type them will be tedious compared to the QWERTY BOARD that is commonly adopted.The finger placement and movement will be smoother and more convenient in QWERTY Board.One can observe this himself or herself.So it is for the sheer comfort of the fingering the Board is so designed

Answer 8

The computer keyboard is set on the same pattern of the old mechanical typewriter. There were hundreds of thousands of people trained in typewriting. It was easier for them to switch over. Also remember that the bulk of work on computers even today is word processing which is basically typewriting.

Answer 9

Because a keyboard is arranged like a typewriter to make the transition from typewriters to word processors as painless as possible and cut down on the time needed to train office personnel.

Answer 10

The arrangement spreads out the letters in a way that is efficient and comfortable. Think of how much of a pain it would be to type with everything in order. Your fingers would be unevenly worked.
