Manual typewriters used letters on individual arms laid out in a fan pattern. If two keys close together were typed too quickly after the other, they would catch on each other and jam. The more they were separated, the less likely this was to occur, though it *could* still happen. Anyway, the layout did indeed spread out the most-used letters to avoid jamming.
Ideally, we'd all ditch Qwerty and go with the Dvorak layout, but that would force everyone to re-learn typing, and few are willing to do that. Dvorak keyboards ARE available for PCs, though.

I don't know man, I'm 5'7 and the average is 6 ft in America.
Well we're talking about the average height in France.
Also the average height of an adult male in US is 5'9".
Napoleon wasn't small. Nearly 5ft 9. That was medium size 200 years ago.
Napoleon may have just been short compared to Europe's aristocrats who hated him.
