I was daydreaming the other day and I seemed to recall that there used to be two different keypads. One with 1-2-3 on top and one with 7-8-9 on the top. They seemed about evenly split in the real world so I did not think one would ever win out. Well one did win out, the 1-2-3 is now pretty much the winner. One of the things I love about the Internet is getting random questions answered. So I went searching and found a very interesting article explaining it all to me.
A brief history of the numeric keypad
There’s no logical reason why telephones and calculators use different numeric keypads. So why do we still follow the same convention?
