“The Macintosh uses an experimental pointing device called a ‘mouse’. There is no...”
– John C. Dvorak, Feb. 19 1984 (via davidkaneda)
Well I mean, in the scheme of things, 25 years is pretty experimental right? How long can it be until I click and scroll… with my mind?
I say four. Tops.

OMG! Teachers say texting can be good for teens →
gogii:
The study found texting may actually help teens’ writing in informal essays and many other writing assignments. In a conversational essay about happiness — which asked “what does it mean to be happy?” — teens who used more texting shortcuts performed better than colleagues who did not.
