What is RH typing?

Rh is an antigen. If you have the antigen, your blood type is A+, B+, AB+, or O+. If you don't have the antigen, your blood type is A-, B-, AB-, or O-.

People WITH the Rh antigen, can receive from/give to people with Rh+ or Rh-.

People WITHOUT the Rh antigen, can ONLY receive from/give to people with Rh- blood. (meaning people without the antigen)

If Rh- and Rh+ blood comes in contact, the Rh- will produce antibodies towards Rh+, and at the second contact with the blood, will cause agglutination.

Can you get arthritis from typing too much?

Typing can cause repetitive stress syndrome leading to carpal tunnel problems or tennis elbow. Usually this happens if you sit at the wrong height, or type with fingers in isolation. That is the reason people should learn touch typing if they use the computer for any great length of time. Basically if you are feeling pain after typing, you should examine what you are doing wrong. If you ignore the pain for too long, you may end up needing carpal tunnel surgery.

Why is a laptop keyboard different from a PC keyboard?

Keyboards are different in laptops when compared to desktop PCs, because of various reasons primary one being space constraints in terms of dimensions (both length, breadth and height). For laptops keyboard has to be integrated as part of the machine body. Laptops will be far bigger in size if similar layout and size of keyboards were used. Also due to height/thickness restrictions on laptops the vertical movement on keys (amount of depth for which the keys are pressed) is also less compared to desktop PC keyboards.

Is a keyboard the same as an organ?

They are not considered to be the same, though both are close relatives of the piano.

How much work do fingers do on the qwerty keyboard versus the other type?

The actual "q, w, e,r,t,y" letters, in my opinion, are not used that much besides my having to type them just then! I use the home row a whole lot more. If you want a fraction for how much qwerty is used, I would say maybe 1/10, if that, and only one or two letters then. Do you want the force exerted by fingers on the qwerty letters measured? I would say that the home row (a,s,d,f,g,h,j,k,l,;) are used for 2/3 of the work done by typists, with the space bar coming right (space) after (space) it!

Why do keyboards not have letters in alphabettical order - why is it qwertyuiopasdfghjklzxcvbnm?

QWERTY has become tradition.

The first typewriters DID have alphabetical layout, but they got too many hammer clashes and the resulting jams, slowing use.

QWERTY was developed to significantly reduce hammer clashes thus making typing on early machines faster. As almost all typewriters became QWERTY most , then all typists were trained on it and nothing else.

It is still tradition, even though computers and modern typewriters do not have the hammer clash problem it was developed to fix.

What is typewritter?
