Why are the numbers so mixed up?
Do you mean why with the numpad 1 2 3 are down, and 7 8 9 are up?
As far as I know, no one has an explanation for this, but it seems that the first pushbutton telephones mimicked the disc telephones where the 1 was upstairs. And then everyone continued…
They are based on the keyboards of the typewriters. And for them there were good reasons for the arrangement. Has something to do with ergonomics when typing (10-finger system).
But mixed up numbers? For me they are arranged in ascending order.
You probably mean the letters rather than the numbers, right? The numbers shouldn't be messed up, if that's the case with you, then someone has played a trick on you and swapped the key tops.
The distribution of the letters depends on the frequency of use and the accessibility when writing with 10 fingers.
Because it's so easy to type faster.
If you first have to search for the ABC and write something, for example, you must first go to the beginning, to the end and then to the middle.
With Quertz they are all next to each other.
No, only mean the letters
In fact not. It used to be arranged in alphabetical order, but people wrote so quickly that the typewriter couldn't keep up, which changed the layout. This forced a slow type of writing, which kept the typewriters behind
Right, I remember. There were often jammed type levers with certain frequently used letter sequences.
Exactly ^^
A picture would be helpful because we've never had a keyboard with the numbers messed up… Or is it you?
Lol
I don't know what you think is funny. Look here:
It's just the truth lol
