Why do the keyboard/typewriter isn't in alphabetical order?

I don't really know, maybe that's just how they make them?

Use the power of google and stop being lazy!

RawryCakes.x - This is not school work from homework. I am asking others people for opinions only.

Qwerty was supposedly invented for typewriters, to make sure there were less typebar clashes for typists.

I'mma gonna go google that. =D

Well there's this other keyboard out there, I forget what it's called, but it's in somewhat alphabetical order.

QWERTY was made to slow down typists who were typing too fast.

I actually think I like it better this way. Alphabetical order would make it really weird... for my anyway. I guess I'm just accustomed to touch typing now it doesn't even matter where the letters are.

I think it's pretty good that's it's not in any particular order.

If it was in alphabetical order, it would be too complicated. In my opinion.

The better question is..

Why isn't the alphabet made like a keyboard?.

ooo that's deep.

It's kinda easy. This is what my Computer Tech teacher told us.

A, S, D, F, G, H, J, K, and L are some of the most commonly used letters in the alphabet. So, they were placed in the position that's easiest to reach, or home row as they call it. Then the second most used letters are on the top row. And then finally, the letters we barely used are at the bottom.

Sure, they've tried other ways to order it. But it's been the same way since the first keyboard and most people find it hard to adjust to something different.

Hope I helped.

Because the alphabet came first.

Be cause the people who type fast their hand would keep hitting each other.

I'm happy the way it is.

They wanted to confuse us and make us ask these questions.

the keyboard is the same as ours in other countries, i think.

Because keyboards were invented long, long after the alphabet was.

I love QWERTY keyboards.

Fact: The longest word you can type using just one row of the keyboard is 'typewriter'.

^they probably made it like that! xD

^ My guess exactly. Ooh, that's clever. xD
