or at least, that’s what I think it’ll do..
.
this is probably in line with the previous post where I waxed on a bit about how amazing life would be if I could live my dreams of making it big.
.
I’ve always wondered about innovative stores and products and how people come up with those inventions, such as the coffee jacket and other such things you see young trendy designers coming up with. There’s a whole process to it too, from identifying a need (or creating one), to addressing the need, designing your product, marketing it and then selling it. Of course, having studied what I’ve studied, the marketing part is probably the part I’m most familiar with, but it’s the identifying/creating a need part that really defines the success of your product.

Such creativity and keen observation often eludes me and I find myself trying to see if there’s anything I could invent that would revolutionize the world… And today, I finally came upon a pretty awesome idea. Let me present…
.
.
THE YOU KEY!
.
What is it?
Basically the You key is a button on your keyboard that stores a catchphrase that you find yourself using most often, be it “LOL”, “what’s up” or “fuck off ninja turtle!” It acts like a Copy/Paste function, but stores the phrase you choose until you decide to replace it with something else or remove it. Depending on the logistics, you can possibly have a limitless number of characters stored in that key.
.
Whatever for??
Analyze your own ’speech’ patterns on the web. I’m pretty sure there’s a phrase you use pretty often that might take you more than a single keystroke to type. It could be “AWESOMESAUCE YO”, or “ROAR” or “FMLLL”, “YOU IZ A FAILZORZ” (no idea where these phrases came from) or y’know, those over-imitated ones like “MAD CHIO”, “KAWAII NE”, “DULAN TTM” etc..
,
Well, think of how much time you’d save if you could type that out with a single tap of a key, conveniently placed next to the alt/ctrl keys! And y’know it’s probably good for your health too. Motor skills and all that. It could double up as a special action key for computer games!! Woot!
.
Why on earth!?!?!
I only came upon this idea because I realized that in one day, I’d have to use the phrase “why, what happened!???” about 10xs at least.. For some reason (not that I’m complaining, more like I’m boasting). people like to come up to me on MSN and say stuff like, “omg i’m so pissed”, “wtf guess what” or “cher i’m so saaaadd” etc..
.
So the next 5678901332 times this happens, I could use the You key and respond in a flash! No more unnecessary typing time, no more cramping fingers. With just one keystroke, I could convey my personality and concern over the Interwebzzz and around the world!
.
.
People all over the world can now have MLIAs and FMLs about accidentally using the You key! Lovers could store special messages in their You keys for their partners! Spamming people has never been easier! With the You key, the sky’s the limit! Or at least, whatever the maximum character count is.
.
So? What do you think of my AWESOMESAUCEBBQ idea? And also, what are the phrases you find yourselves using the most awesome? [edit: i saw that typo error ("using the most awesome?") and wanted to edit it but I think it sits well as it is so yea.. haha ]
Let me know! =)
