Why is there bumps on the F and J keyboard keys?

Question:

Why is there bumps on the F and J keyboard keys?

Answer:

The bumps or nipples found on the F and J keys on the keyboard helps users correctly position their left and right hand on the keyboard without having to look at it. For example, without looking at the keyboard you can easily position your left index finger on the F and the right index finger on the J, which then positions all the remainder of your fingers in the correct position.
