I noticed recently that I sometimes talk about my "mouse hand" and my "keyboard hand", rather than saying right and left, since I'm almost always in front of a computer. It got me thinking that it would be funny if this terminology became part of human language, to the point where the words "right" and "left" were forgotten! Maybe we would say things like, "Go straight for a couple blocks, then hang a mouse, and you'll see the store on the keyboard side of the street." Of course, by the time that happens computer interfaces won't even need these peripherals, and there will be long articles in Wikipedia explaining the archaic origins of these terms. Labels: life |
