Sometimes things get done because someone does not know that it cannot be done. How is that we can limit ourselves by the perspective of something being impossible? Why do we as a race mock those we seek to try to the impossible? It appears that the first time is always the hardest, the no one has done it, what make you think you'll succeed. Maybe it's just a matter of perspective on the impossible, much like the famous math student who solves an unsolved equation because he thought it was part of a homework assignment. The sonic "barrier" also considered impossible. Just wondering how far we will go if we stop thinking about the thing we "cannot" do, and instead consider what we can!
This is actually two thoughts in one, but they are both phone related. Thought 44.1: The backside keyboard. We created the typewriters since 1829 and they've use all of our fingers in an effort to create efficiency. We have even created varieties of key layouts such as qwerty and Dvorak to improve the typing speed. Then we took a huge step backwards and created the cell phone with only the 12 buttons for typing, reducing not only the number of keys by the number of fingers usable on those keys. Then we made the thought that if we just replicate the full qwerty things would be better. And to some extend they are, but we still are reduced to just 2 fingers, or rather thumbs to type with. Then it struck me, the full key set could go on the back of the phone. Well at first it seems rather stupid how do you see the keys to type on them, but does/should a touch typist ever look at the typewriter or keyboard? No. The buttons on the back could be a full qwerty keyboard split and r...
