Wow, I'm getting old, I can actually remember this one, as I was a kid back in the 1970s when touch-tone keypads came out for telephones in widespread use.  (yes, they were invented earlier, but note the words "widespread use" please)  :p\n\nThe way the numbers are arranged on electronic calculators was copied from the way they were on older, electric and mechanical cash registers and calculating machines that had been in widespread use in stores and business for several decades before touch-tone phones and their keypads came along.  It was a fairly logical and effective way to arrange the numbers, and a *lot* of folks in accounting and cashiering and old-school keyboarding businesses like bank telling were very VERY quick with this layout, able to crunch numbers as quickly with a mechanical system as some do with the electronic ones today.\n\nWhich didn't sit well with the phone companies in the 1970s because this touch-tone technology was new and at the time it actually had have a) a bit of a time delay between individual tones, and b) each tone had to be selected for close to a full second, in order for the older phone-line switching systems to keep up and get numbers dialed accurately, especially in parts of the country that converted to touch-tone later than others, or parts of the world that had held on to not just pulse dialing, but literally *mechanical* rotary dialing well into the mid-1990s (not the U.S. so much as places around the world you could *call* from the U.S.).\n\nIn other words, in the beginning the touch-tone phone dialing system coudn't keep up with some of the speedier keypad operators that had worked for a living running keypads all day on cash registers and mechanical calculators.  So the phone company (and back then it was all Bell) had to come up with a way to slow folks down across the board, in much the same way and for much the same reasons that the QWERTY key layout for mechanical typerwriters had been designed the way it was over half a century earlier....\n\nThey inverted the keys so that folks wouldn't freeze up the phone system and annoy customers to the point of giving up on touch-tone and refusing to use it.   And like QWERTY on keyboards, we are still stuck with it to this day.

The first true computer was invented in 1945, well up and running at the end of WWII and took up an entire room. The internet was inveted in 1966 by the US Army and emails were used then in one form or another called an AUTOVON line, phones are still used that way on military bases by the US worldwide.

Phone book.  We used to use these things to find phone numbers back in the day.

Not ever. 1994 was horrible, and 2002, not much better. Thank God I still remember 1970, 1982 and 1986!

Sure has. 30 years ago there were no cell phones, minicomputers, digital cameras, CDs, VCRs, ATMs and debit cards, LASIK surgery, or car airbags. We did have microwave ovens, though they weren't as popular as they are now. We didn't have GPS or OnStar in our cars. But I think the biggest change has to be the personal computer, which is now almost ubiquitous.\n\nIn the past, we used maps we bought at the gas station. Now we go online for maps and driving directions. Want to plan a trip? Just go online, not to the travel agent down the street. The PC has made almost every part of our lives different -- sometimes for the better, sometimes not.

I first started programming computers in 1966, and it seems to me that new hardware is continually developed in order to run software quicker.  Unfortunately, as soon as new hardware is developed, more bells and whistles are added to the software, so it is now necessary to develop even more efficient hardware.  And so it goes.  I would like to see an attitude begin of developing more efficient software, rather than continuing to demand faster hardware for junky software that's cluttered with too many unnecessary options.

The one I have was made (manufactured) in 1987.\n\nDid you perhaps mean "invented"?

Basically everything you use in your life was developed by an engineer.  Cars, highways, fabrics, computers, planes, EVERYTHING.
