Key Pads

Something interesting to take note is that when using a calculator the key pad is reversed to that of a phones key pad.

Example:

Here is my dusty old phones key pad. The numbers go in the order "0,9,8,...,1" from the bottom up. Take a look at the picture it's easier to show.

Phones Keypad Example:


Now take a look at the calculator on my phone. The keypad is orientated differently. It counts "0,1,2,3...9" from the bottom up.

Calculator Keypad Example:


The 0 remains in the same place in both cases. The only thing that different is that the bottom of the row (not the 0) is switched with the top row.

Now I know I used my dusty old phone as an example but this is even true on your smartphone! Go on go check right now! Go into your phone app and calculator app. They are different! Isn't it just amazing how our conscious brains don't recognize (maybe you have)  such a crucial thing. But our sub conscious is at work helping us through our life. Cool.

Cheers.
