I just copy/paste important stuff BEFORE I send it out. My whole
[1]
http://icopiedyou.com is basically that at this point. Thing
is, shouldn't be necessary. I have workarounds: At one point,
long ago, I had a dot-matrix printer set up to record what I
type on hard-copy. Still have 'em. Very noisy operation but I
liked the auditory feedback. although we've made tremendous
strides forwards, some things went missing along the way. All it
would require, to me, would be for computers to be proper state
systems. In this state, I just typed an a. Then in the next
state I typed a . a. Infinite rewind. Some systems implement it.
Google docs, which I don't use 'cause I don't word-process in
particular much - has a fantastically complicated system behind
each letter being typed that ensures you don't lose a thing. I
once saw a chart on how they do it and a long explanation.
Absolutely brilliant. But rare in software design. Of course
it's not NECESSARY - we can just deal with the losses when they
come as we have been. But I see today's computers as VERY
primitive compared to what they ought to be and likely will be
in the future, as our world's growing dependence upon it get
deeper and deeper into our needs. == Indeed, *I* could, but I
don't care so much about me per se in this regard but rather I
think of frustrated people who _don't_ have backup strategies in
place or even if they do... a momentary lapse and a lot of work
can just disappear into nothing. Scratch that. I hate losing my
stuff. == What I want to ultimately see is likely improbable /
impossible, so chasing clouds here... *ugh pun* Thought
collector. Skip the typing, the talking, just get it out at full
speed with no effort, sort it out later, share at will. ==
