I propose to patent the "any" key used by many pieces of software since the dawn of computing. The "any" key is usually pressed by a user as a means of continuing the display of some information on the screen, the user can choose virtually all of the keys available to him/her on a standard keyboard, thus, my patent will include every valid key that could be pressed by a user when presented with an "any" key prompt in any program that has ever used one. Finally since my patent includes every key that could be used to convey textual information, the patent includes all software, all data, and all intellectual properties developed by pressing those keys on any computer since the dawn of computers.
