The keys in a computer are arranged in a haphazard manner because,previously when computers were not there,typewriters were used for typing documents.Initially,the keys of a typewriter were arranged in alphabetical order.So the people would go on typing at ease, without any problem and so, the speed of typing was very fast.As a result,the sticks of the typewriter,which were connected to the keys would get tangled up thus resulting in the collapse of the machine.So, the keys were arranged in a haphazard manner to make it difficult for the user to type.This practice continued in the computers as well.
