Why are the numbers on a keyboard opposite from the ones that we've used our entire lives on a telephone?

Answer 1

i don't know, good point though. i'm sure its for a good reason, they spent a lot of work making keyboards the way they are. i say 'they', i don't know really who made keyboards the way they are. i'm sure wikipedia knows though!
