October 12, 2005Stupid keyboardI am becoming more and more aware of my growing love affair with my cordless mouse. It is wonderful how many things I can do and never have to touch the keyboard. With website favorites, pull down menus for usernames and remembered passwords I can do a myriad of things without ever employing the "home row" technique. I think I just don't like to type. That isn't to say that I can't type. In high school I was purring along at 72 wpm. I am still a very efficient typist, but it has just become annoying. Recently we launched a new e-commerce site and the admin login doesn't remember my username or password. Ugh! I have to enter it every single time (which is usually several times each day). I know there are voice activated programs out there, but do they really work? I haven't heard any glowing reveiws and I certainly don't know anybody who uses any of them. Besides, it would probably be even more irritating to launch a voice recognition program just to enter a couple of fields of text. Gripe, gripe, gripe. I know, I know. I'm just waiting until we have neural implants. But that seems to be my answer for everything. Posted by Selby at October 12, 2005 03:27 PM | |
