Have you ever wondered why the computer/typewriter keyboard is set up the way it is as opposed to say, alphabetically? Well today I did, and for an answer I turned to where millions of other people can now turn for answers to their stupid, unimportant, time wasting questions. GONE are the days of laboring over the name of that guy from that one movie, only to have to see it hopelessly stranded on the end of your tongue. Before the internet, if were one were plagued with some question, some random tidbit of trivia, and no one you knew could producethe answer, then you were simply out of luck. Maybe you could do something drastic like LOOK IT UP IN AN ENCYCLOPEDIA, but not many people had them, and more often than not that would require a trip to the library.
     Now we have the Internet.
   After a quick search, very quick, I discovered that, as is often the case, the internet is conflicted and there are two schools of thought on the manner:

1. It was arranged the way was it in order to prevent jamming on early typewriters.

2. The order was chosen based on careful thought into which were the most commonly used letters, then arranged to place those letters closer to the fingers.

    Which is it? Who knows. That would require research, and I'm not that thorough. But if I know the internet the subject will be argued about in countless message boards and chat rooms for the rest of eternity.
