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.

    other input systems never replaced the qwerty plus mouse combo.

    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.
