Title: Idiocracy here we come! Post by: 3mnkids on February 16, 2010, 07:40:28 PM http://consumerist.com/2010/02/too-lazy-to-type-lol-theres-a-keyboard-for-that.html
Quote When you're IMing all your BFFs, do you have difficulty typing Internets-friendly phrases like LOL, L8R, TTYL on your Qwerty keyboard? In fact, do you have a problem pecking away at the keys on your Qwerty keyboard in general? A new keyboard unveiled at the New York Toy Fair hopes to be of assistance to you and all the other 8-year-olds like you. The Fast Finger Keyboard works as both a Qwerty keyboard and in alphabetical order. Users can switch between modes with the push of a button. Of more interest are the shortcut buttons at the top of the keyboard that employ built-in shortcuts for typical e-mail and IM phrases. Here is the complete list of shortcuts available: ASAP BRB BTW CYA FYI HOAS HRU IMO L8R LOL THX TTYL Is this of any interest to anyone? Does this usher in a new era of laziness or convenience? Whatever, CYA L8R... This is the dumbest thing I have seen in awhile. Title: Re: Idiocracy here we come! Post by: El Misfit on February 16, 2010, 10:44:54 PM I don't know half of these! :teddyr:
