Technology seems to be speeding along. Every day there's a new IPhone ap or a smaller laptop (to emphasize my bigger lap) or a new cellphone that also takes photos, sends texts, makes video and cooks supper.
I'm all for the bigger, newer, faster, smaller, more powerful, more fully loaded. Go for it. I'll buy it. But all those technological advances are leaving one piece of hardware behind the times -- my keyboard.
For how many years has the keyboard read QWERTY? I think the last advancement was the addition of the F keys, and who really uses those? Not me. They sit there collecting dust. And why do I need 2 Shift keys? One would be enough. And when was the last time you used the Home or End keys? I bet not since the last time you raised up off your behind to go change a television channel.
It's like the computer manufacturers consider the keyboard to be some sacred cow that can't be changed. And I think it's time for some changes.
So, I'm suggesting we make some changes. All day long I type in .com or .net. I key it into email addresses and almost everytime I sign in at a website. Why isn't there a key for those two phrases? I bet those keys wouldn't collect dust. And how about the Smiley Face? Hasn't it been around long enough to warrant its own key?
I've played around with a design and I think you'll agree, it's an improvement on the standard keyboard. If you like what I've done, Dell and HP and especially Apple, CALL ME!

Some may feel squeamish about eating it, but rabbit has a fan base that grows as cooks discover how easy they are to raise — and how good the meat tastes.
