On November 7 next, the computer industry will unveil its next great technological breakthrough. It's called handwriting. Apparently you take a small, pointed stick-like object, called a stylus (from 'style', which Chambers defines as 'a pointed instrument for writing on wax tablets') and make squiggle-like movements with it on a screen (called a 'tablet' - 'a slab or stiff sheet for making notes on'). These squiggles are then pondered by a powerful computer which concludes, after much calculation, that they constitute the message 'Tge big brownn fqx jumpz over tge lasy doge' and prints same on the aforementioned screen. | ||
