There will be many different perspectives and narratives, but how do you think the general consensus will be like about Trump, conspiracy theories like flat earth, anti-vaxxers, QAnon, and our response to Covid?
Both serious and comedic answers would be appreciated.
I first used a personal computer in 1985. It was a Mac. I asked my friend how to use it and he opened up the drawing program and simply said "Draw with it." I complained I didn't know how to do anything so he so grabbed the mouse and he said "I'll make a circle." I couldn't believe how simple and intuitive things were. The mouse and Apple's GUI blew my mind.
I can't believe how years have turned to decades and other input systems never replaced the qwerty plus mouse combo.
I want a chorded keyboard phone with a replaceable battery and an e ink screen :(
Both of us need to move to an alternate universe.
Not for lack of trying, though. Voice inputs, tablets for handwriting, and other things have been around forever but a big part of why the qwerty keyboard remains is that it's a really efficient design.
I can't speak to that because I don't know a thing about how good/bad the alternatives are - but a few things are still odd to me....
Instead of one input thing - there are two things - a keyboard and the mouse.
A qwerty keyboard is pretty big
On desktop - you can't do input standing up or laying down using a traditional keyboard + mouse.
Maybe it's still waaaaaaay too expensive but there's no heads up entry either. I mean using glasses as a mouse or whatever.
To use a very old fashioned word - everything seems oddly hidebound.
