Believing back to my intermediate school typing class (done on electric typewriters, not computers) I keep in mind questioning why the keyboard wasnt set up in alphabetical order. When my five-year-old asked me the same concern, I was recently reminded of that. I understood that the answer was related to the frequency of usage of specific letters and also the early limitations of typewriter keyboard configurations. To get a better answer I turned to YouTube where I knew I had seen a video on the topic not that long ago..
