It's interesting because in a way, evolution is similar. I mean, if you were going to design the human body, you certainly wouldn't design it like this. You know, there's things about the human body which are ridiculous, like having lots of points. You know, the eye is ridiculous. You wouldn't design it like this. And yeah, it's fine. It works. That's kind of how evolution works. And I guess it's the same with this. Hey, listen, your book shift happens when you kind of wrote it. I just, I wonder if you had a kind of, if you had a moment of clarity when you got to the end of your book, did you have a moment where you thought this is, this is why this is an interesting subject? What was your kind of takeaway kind of moment of like,
Speaker 1
this is really interesting? I'm sort of a nerd, you know, designer and you kind of thing. And so, you know, I used to be obsessed with keyboards mostly sort of like the technical device, right? Like, oh, there's all of these key codes, there's all of these layouts. But what's really interesting to me is like, sort of how, you know, again, we talked about how the quality keyboard kind of looks like it looked like 150 years ago. And that's, you know, either good or bad depending on look at it. But so much around it to change, right? How we use keyboards, who used keyboards, how typewriters became computers, which is actually like a really complicated story. They were doing devices like teletypes and key punches and calculators and all that kind of stuff. What processors we talked about. Sort of the human, like the human attachment to the keyboard ended up being like the most interesting part, right? Like how people, how some people, as I mentioned, like speak with their thumbs today, right? Which is like kind of a new way to actually use a keyboard that didn't exist before or some how some people were like became so incredibly good at typing or how some people like we talk about Dvorak and other people like really wanted to fix the queries wrongs without maybe realizing there wasn't much to fix. But you know, like how some people try to invent a new language just to fix the universe, right? That's how people. So there's a lot of like really beautiful stories of people. Oh, yeah.
