This content of this article sent and eerie chill down my spine while I read it. Not the simple complaining about "where did my big control key go" or the superiority of the keyboard over the mouse, but just the whole idea of ahieving a Zen state with your computer. It seemed far too reminiscent of Neuromancer and other Cyberpunk stories of people plugging their brain into a computer. Okay, I'm sure there are many slashdot users reading this who say "so what" and would love to have their brain plugged into their machine... Why use a keyboard when you can just send commands from your brain to your CPU, right? The possibility of this is still Scifi, but just the thought of achieving a "oneness" with an inanimate object sounds either too good to be true or too dangerous to even consider. If you could achieve a Zen state with your computer whenever you wanted, I'm sure there would be people out there who would go into that state and never come out... missing out on all other god things life has to offer. -Zaerik- "War is your common cry.
