Instead of doing everything with a keyboard, why not press the hard
button, and make it easy for everyone else?
Design an Operating System, that strictly uses voice commands, and of
course, call it Talkows XP. It should pronounced tacos.
Tell me you saw the Star Trek movie in which the crew visit 20th
Century Earth.
Scotty is trying to work with the "leading edge computer", so he
begins telling the computer what he wants to do, and nothing is
happening.
One of the system administrators says, "No, use this!" and hands him
the mouse. Scotty takes the mouse, holds it up to his face, and begins
talking to the mouse like you'd use an old walkie talkie.
That was one of the funniest scenes in a Star Trek movie I ever saw.
Reminds me of another hilarious scene from the same movie. Where Spock
is trying to learn to cuss after he hears two "street punks" cussing.
It takes him about 4 or 5 tries getting the words all backwards --
like, "I shit don't get it!" or "You bullshit should think about
that!"
before he says something truly gross, but gets the words in the right
order. Something like, "I don't give a shit!"
Kirk turns to Spock with a big grin and says, "Spock, I believe you're
finally getting it!"
