This is a new expirence for me.

To my knowledge, the layout of the typewriter keyboard was made in
the days of the manually devices (do you remember these). The main 
objective of the design was to *slow down* the typing process as
these devices could not follow the faster typists.

This problem is now obsolete as the devices of today have the necessary 
speed. This is also why a lot of discussions are going on about 
redesigning the keyboards to suit the language better; e.g., by
placing the most used letters in a more convenient place.
