CHANGE FOR BETTER SERVICE


Have you ever noticed that the typewriter keyboard places the most frequently used keys far apart from each other? The purpose of this arrangement was to slow down the typing speed. Keys on the machines of the 1800s used to jam if the typist went too fast.

About 40 years ago, the Dvorak Simplified Keyboard was developed. On this keyboard, the most frequently used keys were in the home row, and the right hand did 56 percent more work than the left. Typists using this keyboard could increase their speed up to five times without increasing in error.

Still, we continue with a keyboard designed to be inefficient. Why? We don't like changes. Mark Twain once said, "Only a wet baby welcomes a change."

However, today's military requires innovative, out-of-the-box thinking. Whether we like it or not, we change every day.

Prayer: Almighty God. Help us to be more creative, thoughtful, and pro-active in serving our country. Amen.

It got windy, but I guess not enough to get any rain to show up here.

Unfortunately, any rain in the part of the world is staying well south of you. :-( Darn the luck.

POWERFUL!!! And really depressing that our government has gotten so bad.

Thanks for the link. So many people’s lives destroyed by the evil J6, top to bottom.
