Reflecting to my middle school typing class (done on electrical typewriters, not computers) I keep in mind wondering why the keyboard wasnt organized in alphabetical order. When my five-year-old asked me the very same question, I was just recently advised of that. I knew that the response was connected to the frequency of usage of certain letters and likewise the early constraints of typewriter keyboard setups. To get a much better response I turned to YouTube where I knew I had seen a video on the subject not that long earlier..
