  [awkward]

### Typing

i have some theories about why people love typing.

they can wait.

- **typewriter** 

  - underwood no 5 - 1920s

  - nobody liked using typewriters for fun.

    - looks like a torture device

    - punctuation

    - 1 key is missing - hammers were overcrowded - 35-40

- **magnetic typewriter** 

  - IBM selectric 1969

- **insert key**

- [formal-spam]

- [typewriter-computer] timeline

  - letter-writing and corresspondance

  - computers existed for doing math on numbers

  - they both used keyboards

- **engelbart**

  we remark at how many features it has,

  but not at how little things have changed in 50 years since.

  - herman miller

  - 1963-1968 - 6 years

  - DARPA money - US military

    - mouse, display, light-pen

    - SDS 940 - 60 of the machines were sold.

    - 

  - apollo 8  - launched at the same time

  - borman/lovell/anders

- **SDS 940**

- **keyboard**

- **lightpen**

  -we still don't have chorded, cockpit desk, or sub-document linking.

### Punctuation

- **keyboard 1**

- **all punctuation**

- **control-characters**

  - **tilde**

  - **at sign**

  - **hash**

  - **astrix**

  - **brackets**

    - particularly worried about backslash symbol

- **ray tomlinson**

  - symbol collision is a real problem

  - DNA sequences were renamed to avoid being classified as a date in ms excel.

### Markup

- **Question - write data**

- **wikipedia**

- **Question 2 - markup lang** - how can a user write data?

- **Escaping**

- **Newline morse**

- **margin-love**

- **glimpse**

  [needs work]

### Word-wrap

- **spreadsheet -> text**

  a 2d grid of characters

- **word-wrap**

  a text-editor is not a 2D grid of characters

  [ralf xi, forsith demo]

the problem with text has always been there

we can't turn text into data.

### text editors

- **refactoring - drake**

- **refactor-timeline**

[needs work]

### keyboard focus

- [keyboard focus illustration]

- [browser focus illustration]

- **spicer**

- **zelda**- we can't find what's interactable in a computer

- **cannon-cat**

  it's never clear what you're typing into

  [focus-demo]

- **end**

  - Compromise.cool

  - Theres also money coming in - from time to time.
