Who the hell designed the keyboard and what logic was there in placing the letters?

Wouldn't it just be more simple if it was in alphabetical order?

you'll find that the older folks here still have the standards that were reinforced in us when we went to school.

apparently all they teach kids these days is how to find the on button on their ipods.

Keyboard History
Standard Qwerty Keyboard Origin:
Late 1870's
In 1872, Remington produced the first mechanical typewriter, patented by C. Latham Sholes. Soon typists were going so fast that they were able to jam the keys which flew up to hit the typewriter ribbon. In the late 1870's: the "improved" Qwerty layout was designed to slow down typing, so those pesky keys would not jam anymore. Here is the speed trap we are stuck with today, 130 years later.

Q W E R T Y U I O P
A S D F G H J K L ;
Z X C V B N M , . ?

In the Standard / Qwerty keyboard layout above, the most frequently used letters in English are shown in red: ETASORNI. How many common letters are at convenient inner finger locations on the middle row? None. Where is A? At the awkward left small finger location. Where are rarely used letters J and K? On prime real estate. No wonder it's slow: Alphabet soup.

I started with an electric typewriter at around 1986 when I was 7, I still use typewriters now and then but mainly my laptop, I have been writeing since a child and never had a second thought abought spelling because generally, i get my thoughts out to fast and by the time they are for viewing they have been corrected>

QWERTY (contemporary keyboard layout) was designed for typwriters to keep commonly paired letters seperated.

Typewriters (for you young 'uns) had metal rods alligned to hit a central spot. The commonly paired keys were seperated in order to prevent keys sticking together during typing.
