4. Summary:
- You can say goodbye to your mouse and hello to this awesome new gadget. It has been 50 years since Douglas Engelbart invented the mouse. This device is a minute 3 inches long and wide. They call it the Leap. All you now have to do to operate your computer is wave your hand or finger! The price is seventy dollars. It will not be out on the markets until February 2013. Many companies have already proposed apps. Some ideas were a orchestra or modeling clay.
5. Reaction: 5 pt.
- Take a position on the issue in the article. I feel this is a efficient way to get rid of your chunky keyboard. This event is very technical like many more to come. I understand it would take time to learn how to operate it. I have been with a keyboard all of my life, it would take some getting used to. This affects me and even my classmates because someday we might switch over to Leaps.
6. World Impact: 6 pt.
- It impacts the world because no one will want a "colossal" keyboard. What will be done with all the keyboards once the Leap is successful? The world was affected by Smart Boards, so maybe this could be the next big thing in classrooms. If Leaps are put in classrooms then I'm sure my classmates would love them. Recently I just learned how to actually type on a keyboard. There is now some reconsideration as whether people would be willing to re-learn to type.
I think that's really cool how they made that mouse. I just think they shouldn't have waited 5 years to say that they've made it. This would've been a huge hit 5 years ago. But overall, your whole current event was awesome. Everything sounds good.
