Why is the order of numbers on a calculator reversed on the phone?
March 13th, 2009 | by admin |On a calculator, from left to right, numbers start from the top right corner at 9 and descend numerically leftward. On a phone (modern land line or cell phone), the numbers, from right to left, start from the top left corner at 1. Why did people make it like that? ***The funniest thing about it is that 0 is always on the bottom.
