You should ask your self, why is the calculator keypad reversed? Because it was easier for the accountants or bankers, anybody working with numbers. The numbers they use the most were lower numbers(0,1,2,or 3), so it would be easier for them if the lower numbers would be on the bottom of the keypad instead of being on the top like the telephone keypad.
