When I was in middle school, we had to take computer class and learn how to type. I was SO annoyed that the letters weren't in alphabetical order on the keyboard. Like, what's the point? It's hard enough already to learn how to type without all the letters being scrambled up. My teacher told me it was because people used to have typewriters and if the letters were in alphabetical order then they would get stuck all the time. I guess that makes sense but then I was left wondering why nobody ever changed it back once computers were invented. 

They say you don't really learn anything in computer class but that day I learned that the world really is run by grown ups. It was really a matter of whether adults would want to have to re-learn how to type so that everyone in the future can have an easier time typing. Lightbulb...
