seriously, folks


I know that serious posts on this board are not appreciated that much....
however,
do you know the real reason that the keyboard is so convoluted???
Seems like the first typewrite maker was concerned that users would become too proficient and overrun the mechanical capabilities of the machine.
Solution?--- make the keyboard as illogical as possible, which would confound users trying to gain speed.
Isn't progress wonderful???
We never have overcome this unlearned situation, even with all the technology at hand, alas....

Baja Arriba!!

Are you sugesting that I learn how to use my toes in the process of beating out my messages on this keyboard. Sorta like asking Lyonial (spell) Hampton to change 'his' keyboard. The music would never be the same.

Iz that wut you just said? I think so. But I been ruffing all day so I'm actually stupider than wen i begun.
But, gazintas and reding is ware this hole thing started and no matter wut, i feel it is important, no matter hoo makes em lernit! Starts wid the parent's donit?
And perhaps the parents should concentate on what the skools are doing as far as edukating ALL of the children?
Just a thought.


The last line says it all, don't cha think? Education, (as currently practiced) or thinking?

Then the real evolutionary debate begins, [whats best for mankind, in history's far-sighted view?...people who think or those who are 'teachable']?
