If you've ever followed up a garbled text with "Damn You, Autocorrect," some high-tech help might be on the way.
A California company says it's created technology that could make keyboard keys rise out of the touchscreen on a smartphone, tablet or other device, then disappear when you were done with them.
Tactus Technology this week demoed Tactile Layer, a product that uses haptics, or a touch-based interface, to make patterns or shapes rise and recede on a regular touchscreen.
The company says its panel, which it displayed on a prototype Android tablet at this week's Society for Information Display showcase in Boston, is "the world's first deformable tactile surface."
"The origin of Tactus goes back to 2007," said CEO Craig Ciesla in a video. "Looking at the iPhone and all the elegance of that user interface, I also realized that I like my BlackBerry with the buttons ... . As human beings, we really want to be able to feel things; we really want that tactility."
The layer is flat and transparent and wouldn't add any thickness to a gadget since it would replace a layer that already exists, Tactus says.
For tech consumers, devices that could benefit from the system include smartphones, tablets, e-readers, gaming devices and remote controls, the company says. But it also has potential in automobiles, medical devices and personal navigation systems, they say.
Tactus has partnered with Touch Revolution, a touchscreen manufacturer. The first Tactus products will be available by mid-2013, Ciesla said.

Magnificent beat ! I wish to apprentice even as you amend your web site, how can i subscribe for a weblog web site? The account aided me a applicable deal. I were tiny bit acquainted of this your broadcast offered bright transparent concept
My spouse and i completely adored looking at your blog! Do you plan about performing a adhere to-way up? You need to watch my own internet site it is information on pure green coffee bean extract Have a good one
Marvellous how there is heaps of comments on the net about text vanishing when you hit a key but out of squillions of people manufacturers included NOT ONE SOLITARY PERSON KNOWS WHY OR HAS THE ANSWER. PURE WASTE OF TIME AND MONEY. We apy out thousands for computers and SOMEONE NEEDS TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY.
Great site. A lot of useful info here. I am sending it to a few pals ans additionally sharing in delicious. And naturally, thanks to your effort!
You, casually, not the expert?
P.S. Please review Arc from diameter Icon from design-icon-set
This is very fascinating, You're an overly skilled blogger. I've joined your rss feed and stay up for in the hunt for extra of your fantastic post. Additionally, I have shared your website in my social networks
Damn, I finally figured out what the writer was trying to say. The screen can shapeshift. I want clothes made of that stuff.
My girlfriend's Iphone has that.
Reblogged this on coretechsconsulting and commented:
Tactile keyboards allow a phone to have a 3-D surface- endless app possibilities to follow.
Is there a fix for fat fingers?
a diet
Raised keyboards does not fix auto correct!
Amazingly enough, turning OFF Auto-Correct does wonders however.
True, but nothing fixes stupid.
I was sooo worried I had broekn my shift key because it would not click back in right! lol I never even thought about the metal bars. This is like the only tutorial I could find on youtube that demonstrates how to replace a shift key! haha I feel so happy now, thank you so much! (:
Awesome! A Cell phone with 26 more moving parts! I can't wait for the "E" key to stop rising.
On the other hand (pun intended) there's this: http://leapmotion.com/
Saty
Maybe I don't get this, but where does the auto correct come into play with this, as the author started the story. The damn you auto correct sentiment comes in when you have types something in correctly, but auto correct changes it to something else, rather than what you typed. This would do nothing to correct that, as you would still be typing in correctly initially.
Exactly, I started reading this trying to figure out how a "pop-up" keyboard would fix the issue of auto-correct. The two have nothing to do with each other.
I don't know if this applies to all smartphones ever created, but I remember on my original-gen Droid that autocorrect only kicked in when using the touchscreen keyboard. Anything typed in with the physical keyboard stayed as you typed it. Perhaps when the physical keyboard is activated, the auto-correct is disabled.
Most people finished high school and actually know how to spell. Their errors usually stem from hitting the wrong letter key on the touchscreen, and auto-correct nabbing them. The ones who don't know how to spell, deserve to be misunderstood.
Since when is graduating high school these days a guarantee that the person can spell?
Also, you had an extra comma after the word "spell".
Since English is a required course, and dictionary.com is a mouse click away. However, you're citing a completely different issue involving how inept our education system is, which has nothing to do with my point.
PS that comma belongs there.
No, it doesn't.
It's from hitting the wrong keys. I'm used to typing fast on my phone and in the past I didn't even need to look at my phone to text because I knew where the keys were. The characters on my Droid are bigger than the ones on my old phone but because I can't move my fingers across the keys many times I hit the wrong button (constantly hit the "v" instead of the spacebar. Normally, autocorrect gets 90% of the words correct if I miskey. However, when a vulgar word slips through and your talking to your mother or worse your boss, not cool (especially if it goes along with the sentence).
I love this idea and would probably buy the phone if it was out.
How long until this becomes a (Cr)Apples innovation and they start suing everyone for it.
Apple haters. Such a obsessive and dramatic cult of oddballs.
And what does that make you Apple supporters. I know! How about the most stuck up pretentious snobs ever.
A computer is a tool. Not unlike all of you.
Haha...perfect.
Thanks alot for this tutorial! I was a litlte careless the other day and managed to get the smallest drip of tomato sauce on my directional key and now it's sticky. Thanks to this tutorial I was able to clean it safely. Very much appreciated!
The 64-bit version is in early test right now. I have it runnnig on my machine as we speak. It's got a couple of bugs we've got to iron out before we go to beta. I don't like putting dates on things like that, especially around this time of year when everything stalls, so I won't, but I will say it is feature-complete and undergoing code review and bug fixes now.
Isn't there an apple article for you to troll?
So what store can we go to to check this out?
Try Evelyn Woods, they should be able to help you with your question...
Why does it always seem to take Steve Jobs to get pudroct design right? Amen. Rave reviews of the iPhone are starting up, for example : it is being called a game changer by Mossberg, which of course is no surprise given how he likes all things Apple. But, it is starting to sound like a game-changer.Yup, once I dug my keyboard I had to wonder why I had let it set around so long. You can accomplish a lot with one and a PPC/Palm.Well, it's bed time for the old man. See you folks tomorrow.
Quite a cold rellay rellay benefit from doing a search online may very well be you could look at specific specs while in the computer in the web-site, hardly search for the particular component that may pronounces e2809cTechnical Detailse2809d and as well e2809cTech Specse2809d. If however, you check out a ordinary store it will require is a long time and then dr generally there coupled with anticipate salesman to see any person your specialised data inside of a portable computers, along with perhaps they wont educate yourself on the answer.

Just the usual groceries.
I'm in love. I type over 50 wpm, and having to look at my phone while I text someone drives me nuts. bring on the tactile.
Congratulations you type as fast as my grandma. 50 wpm is nothing to brag about. Typing this comment about you took me 7 seconds and it took me another 7 seconds to count all 37 of them.
You are a braggart d!ckhole. It took me 2 seconds to type that.
Congrats Joe, I'm just as highly impressed at your super typing skills. It took me about 15 seconds to write all of this but I learned some pretty cool things while I was in the Army...want me to show you what I can do to you in the 14 seconds it took you to be a Dbag using just two thumbs and one index finger?
You know you're a winner when you're one upping someone about your typing skills.
This would be such a boon to the blind and visually impaired. My brother is blind, and LCD touch anything is of no value to him. He does have an internet radio with knobs and buttons- that allows him to listen to streaming music. Keyboards do have purpose. I prefer them. I watch my grandchildren sending texts- and they are good at it, but I can enter just as rapidly or more rapidly , on my keyboad. I think the industry needs to keep those who have visual issues in mind when they design things. They have a desire to be just as connected as the rest of the population.
YES. Aside from the keyboard, imagine having a screen that can produce braille for a blind or visually impaired user! That alone would be worth every cent.
I was thinking the same thing! My daughter is blind, and she's all kinds of excited about this new technology.
It looks like the raised areas are consistent and you can see where they are when they're flat. How does that work if you turn the device? Seems like those raised areas would no longer match the keyboard on the long side of the screen.
I would think that unless they can make the areas appear anywhere, in any shape on the screen, this will just be relegated to one or two Android phones, right next to the ones featuring 3D.
I'm with you. Maybe I'm not understanding the concept correctly, because even if they do find a way to make it work no matter the orientation of the phone, I just don't see any real value in the technology, at least for the average consumer.
Don't turn the device. Especially if you are visually impaired and view this technical advance as a godsend. However, if you are shortsighted in a different way and think everyone is just like you, then twist and turn another brand of device all you want. Touch typists will love this.
And for we old-time people who learned QUERTY as children, well, enough said:)
hmmm... I'd think if you really 'learned' it, you'd know it's 'QWERTY' and not 'QUERTY'
Damn you, Autocorrect!,
Tim, well played, sir!
I'm 25, we learned QWERTY in school. I guess I must be old.
I agree with Craig – tactile is good.
I wonder if this works the same way the one I thought up would've worked if I could've been bothered to do anything about it. In my idea, the haptic objects are created by piezoelectric deformation, and then when a finger pressed on it, that would create a current as well, signalling the event... it'll be interesting to see if this is similar.
I have also dreamed a lot of inventions and innovations that I never patented. I enjoy seeing them actually being developed and helping people.
hmmm its interesting...I don't see the point now; but then I know many will like this for sure. Not like it matters, Keyboards and typing, controls, etc wont be around much longer lol...
Think about the potential applications. How about a smart phone for the blind. With this technology, they could read web pages, text messages, etc.. on thier phone in braile.
ugh my brain hurts
Wait, people still type? With a keyboard? That's so cute.
how in the world do you type?
He types letter by letter, using his unmentionable appendage.
Would that be considered "Penpecking" ?................lol.
Yes, we still type....and probably a heck of a lot faster, and more accurately, than those who hunt and peck on a touch screen keyboard using their thumbs.
Especially for those that speak (and write) multiple languages (which are NOT a small portion of the population, mind you). Auto correction works for single-language speakers, but for everyone else, having to switch language correction every time you have to write an email or text in a different language is a curse. And when you forget to do it you get a completely mis-corrected message that you have to re-type again from scratch.
Physical keyboards will continue to offer significant advantages for a very long time. Intelligent people can accept that sometimes, for certain form factors, losing the physical keyboard is a decent tradeoff. Dumb people don't realize that there's a tradeoff involved.
@Herby: "Auto correction works for single-language speakers," THAT is highly debatable. I had to turn mine off completely because it kept screwing up. While I take your point regarding keyboards in multiple languages, I'm not sure that's what this would allow – it looks like it's still just a standard keyboard with the ability to raise the buttons, but limited in being unable to change the keyboard layout for different languages, or change the orientation.
Then what do I know. I thought that whole texting thing was a fad.
This could be a breakthrough in touchscreen technology.
Could be? It is.
I think he was going for the pun
If any of those keys could vibrate when the phone rings, and the keyboard was slim in width, women all over the world would line up to buy it, in pairs. One to sit on, the other to repeatidly call the first. Way to go, great invention....sponsored by AT&T, Verizon, ???
While this is a positive development, the best and fastest way to enter data is still a full-time keyboard. The problem with a touchscreen, tactile or not, is that it uses the same surface area to both view data and enter data. When you want to enter data, there is an extra step needed to make the keyboard appear, often obscuring part or all of the screen. Then another step is needed to hide the keyboard. This up/down scenario goes on for every input field.
You don't have this problem with a full-time keyboard. The separation between data entry (input) and screen (output) is maintained. You see the whole screen at all time, and there are no extra steps needed. Jumping between input fields is fast and seamless. No touchscreen can work around this.
I disagree. About the speed that is. For me and a lot of people, one of the best and fastest ways to enter text data on a cell phone is SWYPE. I'm quite proficient.
Good for you
Swype is good. Not perfect, and proficient texters can pwn me even when I'm swyping and they're just typing.
Swiper no Swiping! Swiper no Swiping! Swiper noooooooo Swiping!
To relmfoxdale: they are for touch typists to ensure their fingers are over the proper keys (as on most regular keyboards) – left index over "f" ,etc.
I'm still trying to figure out why my iPad's keyboard has raised "bumps" on a couple of the keys. So far, no answers. Hello? Apple?
If you mean raised bumps on the F, and J keys, your a moron
*you're
The raised bumps on the "F" and "J" keys are what's known as "Home Keys". The "Home Keys" are where your index fingers of both hands lay if you have learned the QWERTY keyboard. If you haven't learned the QWERTY keyboard, those raised bumps are there for you to ask why they are there... they are on ALL keyboards not just Apple or PC keyboards. They are for "Real Typists" to use...
Hahaha, you guys insulting him are funny.
He is refering to the fact that the digital keyboard has no feel to to it, so why make "raised" looking keys.
Why not just put black dots or something.
Though I think it is a style thing.
Still, so many poeple ready to insult. Just itching to do it. God...
It's called a skeuomorph. Look it up
Okay, I confess – I had no idea what a "skeuomorph" was, and looked it up. I'm going to completely annoy my friends with that.
How about a desktop that has the keyboard rise out of it? Then i don't have to clean under the stupid keyboard at work all the time. Just a flat surface that rises up into a keyboard when you need it. It may seem frivolous, but would do wonders for the aesthetics of our daily lives.
That would be fantastic! Especially for those of us who have sneezed while eating something COVERED in powdered sugar while at the computer...
Actually those keyboards already exist.

Just quit eating while at the keyboard.
***GASP***
What are all the grown adults going to do who are living in the parent's basement living off hotpockets while sitting in the corner playing World of Warcrack all day long?
More high-priced flimsy garbage that will break just after warranty runs out.
People don't need this sort of thing. Just get a life people.
Bitter, party of one.
Someone actually gets mad that they invented a better touchscreen ? very very strange
if they invent the cure to cancer you probably have a panic attack
Until they find a cure for panic attacks, then it's all over.
i can imagine some medieval monks fumigating after they found out someone had invented a bookprinting machine
I think it is awesome.
There are several companies working on variations of this concept. They all have patents pending. It will be interesting to see which ones are the most useful or fill specific niches. Seems like this company may well be first to market which can be a great advantage if people like the product.
It also looks like it will consume a lot of battery, check the haptic link
Not a problem, batteries are about to get much smaller and carry a larger charge.
Sounds really interesting, I wonder how much thickness will add to devices?
And all you had to do was read the article...
It may also consume a lot of battery, check the haptics link
Use a pen and paper then.
This would be great for people who are blind. This technology could be progressed so people could feel the screen, and know how to interact with it. Sounds like a start to something truly remarkable.
This would be VERY useful for blind users. Not just for braille, any "buttons" that are normally just flat displays would suddenly be much easier to find. Shapes could be conveyed. Sections of the screen could be delineated. Any tactile feedback is a big help.
I wonder how Viagra ads would appear on this touchscreen.
Problem is that it would stay there for 4 hours.
The iPhone is a good example, Mossberg or not. It rellay doesn't contain much that's rellay new, it's just a slick convergence of already existing technologies. Convergence wasn't a new idea it'd been talked about for ages, but it took Apple to do more than just talk about it. Now of course, it's a no brainer and similar units are sprouting up from other quarters. But for Pete's sake, how long have we had Windows Mobile phones and PDAs? How much would it have taken to make a WM phone the approximate equivalent of an iPhone, (in the same way a Zune is the approximate equivalent of an iPod)? Not much, but MS never took that step and WM devices are still clunky in oh so many ways. Come on, Microsoft, get a little vision. Their Surface computing device is pretty cool, for example, but how many people are going to be interested in it? Not many. It'll have very limited appeal outside of commercial environments.
The greatest form of entertainment I've found so far is people arguing on message boards. Keep trollin!
Yes, and all the stupid comments
We need a dozen eggs, some olive oil and some cocaine!
This definitely beats out Smell-o-vision.
Booo hooo, i dont like buttons, i do when there is funbags inside
This concept was released around the same time (2007ish) and the patent was filed this year. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VL-yfP3-3hI
Pretty dang cool!!!!!!!
This is a good idea and could probably serve as a realistic compromise between those who like physical keys vs those who prefer touch. I hope they patent it quick before Apple steals the idea and claim it's theirs.
A non Apple Technology story on CNN? Now thats news
To be fair, they DID mention iPhone in the article.
People are viewing this with limited ideas on its use. Sure, it's showing a keyboard but there are other things that could be future applications. Braille for touch screen is just one. What about displays inside of vehicles and other transportation devices that lift up only as you need them? For example radio controls, environmental controls, heck even steering and shifting devices in the future. There are lots of cool applications other than just keyboards on phones.
Wish there were a like button for your post on this page. You're totally right. People live in the small world of things they can reach for around on their desks.
"But it also has potential in automobiles, medical devices and personal navigation systems, they say."
"Tactus has partnered with Touch Revolution, a touchscreen manufacturer."
nope, no fun. i thought i might try a random copy/paste, too.
Jennifer wasn't randomly copying and pasting, she was answering the question by pointing out that the last three sentences of Kat's post were already in the article. Did you or Kat finish reading before posting?
I think her post was more in response to people's comments here than the article itself.
Unfortunately the physical buttons are not dynamic, so a Braille application would not work. It is simply an overlay with an on/off feature that shows the buttons or hides them. It could be incorporated into cars tho, and that would be neat. Maybe eventually they'll figure out how to dynamically create the keys as needed.
It will be fairly easy im sure. Think about the pixels in your screen. They make up images by using multiple pixels. In the same way, possibly, this system could work dynamically for multiple systems. While keeping the buttons functioning via an on/off state they could make them smaller and use multiple buttons to make up other buttons of different shapes and sizes. thus creating the illusion that they are dynamic. The only additional piece would be a programming layer that can identify and signal particular buttons to rise for particular situations.
Actually,Alpine did incorporate this technology into a few of their NAV/DVD head units in cars several years ago,and even won a CES award for it. There should be a Google article on it out there.
Kat, 2 words – car accident.
Meh. The keys are so small that your finger would overlap onto other letters unless you do some precision hunt and peck.
Ack. Thhhpt.
Presumably, they could have different key sizes for different surfaces. I see it as a real boon for tablets.
I suppose it depends how it's implemented, but I don't see this technology making things like switches or knobs. It sounds like it's strictly for buttons, if only one surface deforms.
I have been waiting for this! the application are endless, computer keyboard that stays flat, game controller pads that raises forget Wii U and the extra controllers that's old school. This is sweet
the ONLY time u need to feel the keys is while txtdriving. otherwise this tech serves no purpose
... for you...
Abnormal this post is totaly utenlaerd to what I used to be looking google for, but it surely was once listed on the first page. I suppose your doing one thing right if Google likes you enough to position you at the first web page of a non related search.
Being an old farrt, I love the idea, and intend to wait until it's available before I get a new tablet or phone.
I think that I want it, but I do not understand it. Isn' t thst what my Kindle has? The keys fo not actually rise up out in a textured way on my Kindle though.
soUNDS GREAT... STILL CAN'T AFFORD IT THOUGH
As speech recognition gets better and better (Dragon is amazing), the need for an elaborate keyboard diminishes. This will be the challenge of Tactus.
I could see something like this, but more refined, being used for the blind. If they can make the dots small enough, it can be a variable, changeable braille screen.
I for one prefer typing to speaking to my computer or phone. Even if it was 100% accurate, typing gives me time to think about my word choice and structure in between words, and it's also more private. I don't think the majority of consumers will ever prefer speaking over typing in most situations.
I agree. There's always a role for physical input into systems. Speech recognition is good, but it's still got a long way to go. Text-based input is not going away any time soon.
Actually, I have Dragon Naturally Speaking, which I use for entering first names and birth places when indexing 1940 Census records. I'm a lawyer and I found it absolutely useless for drafting because my speaking and writing styles are completely different. For anything I dictate I wind up completely rewording it.
Sometimes it is nice to type. I type when I am in a noisy area or when I don't want those around me to hear my conversation.
I agree. Also there is a level of rudeness that we haven't achieved until we get 10 people in an elevator all talking to their devices over each other. A mix between them and the blue tooth peeps who always look like they are talking to themselves could be apocalyptic.
Please speak your password after the beep
Robert – "As speech recognition gets better and better (Dragon is amazing), the need for an elaborate keyboard diminishes"
I disagree!! I could not send many of the txts I do or search the internet in the same way if I had to speak everything. A lot of people use the web and txting to fill time when they cannot talk due to their environment. (Of course, this is ignoring those that insist on shouting on their phones in movie theaters and the like.
) Not to mention, some people with speech issues cannot use speech programs no matter how good they get.
This would definitely get me to abandon my keyboard phone that I love. I can't stand the touch screen keyboard.
yes and no. In the mainstreem market you are probably correct. but think about situations where voice recognition wont work or work very well. Mostly noisy situations like a constructioni site or on a runway. Anyone who uses a phone where noise interference is common will need touch as a fallback. So this will actually be the perfect compliment to voice.
Think about when you are sick and cannot speak too. There are situations that require touch when voice is not an option. So there will probably always be a need for some form of touch backup and this could be the next step. If not then when you cant use your voice you cant use your device at all. That would suck.
Yes, because shouting a text message at my phone while in a crowded public area is soooo discrete. The whole point of a text message is to quickly, quietly, and discretely communicate. If you're going to be talking into the phone, you might as well call.
Amazing, but I can see one potential problem. How is the screen going to look after a few months/years of use? Over time, do those little buttons popping up and down start to show signs of wear or artifacts on the display? As much as I dislike touchscreens as a typing device, I'd dislike having perpetually visible evidence of little keyboard bubbles even more.
The only problem here is that the Patent system will take hold, and eventually no one will be able to use this tech because someone will own the rights and refuse to lease it out. Yeah patents!
Really?..That is the most ridiculous comment I have read in a long time. Patents protect peoples intelectual property. If patents were not avaialble as a means of protection, no one would create anything, why bother if anyone has the right to steal it? Patents are huge motivator for inventors who do not have the means to mass produce product, most inventors look forward to licensing the patent, get paid, and start the creative juices up again.
@Johnny Cage – You don't understand the patent system then. What is DOES mean is that in 20 years, the technology will be free to EVERYONE! Go patent system! As opposed to a "trade secret" system that hides the technology forever. How "open" is that formula for Coke after 100 years? Sure, there is a price to pay in that the cost will be higher initially. Someone has to pay for the research, so why not the early (rich) adopters. After a few years, society gets free technology. Take the long view of what is better for society over all, not just today.
I think most of us can see the amazing benefit of brail enhanced screens. Just imagined a kindle-like device with brail. Putting textbooks into that medium would make life easier for people that can always use a break.
I really hope the people developing this technology have the same brilliant idea. I really think that a brail touch screen would open the world up for those that not only need a break, but likely have a lot to offer.
I think most of us can see the amazing benefit of brail enhanced screens. Just imagined a kindle-like device with brail. Putting textbooks into that medium would make easier for people that can always use a break.
Most people who are blind can't even understand brail themselves.
Now that is extremely cool.
Does this open up the possibility of braille-capable touch screens?
Seems likely, which would be fantastic.
While in it's initial release the fine detail required for braile is probably inpossible, I don't see why it could be adapted in the coming month to do it. But then, the point of a touch screen is having video graphics capability, thus blindness defeating the purpose of a touchscreen.
Thats not true. A touch screen would be just as good as a recyclable surface. Instead of filling up pages of brail, just recycle the small bumps on the same page. Not to mention all of the features of a cell phone, but in brail. Dummy.
Braille keypads have been around for many years. Many of them will plug directly into USB for mobile devices. They allow dynamic braille touch. You don't have to output braille to paper. The blind/low vision community is well aware of the benefits of a braille keypad. They are relatively expensive but i think it would be difficult for the keypad described in the article to replace the braille keypad. The sensitivity level has to be very high.
"Looking at the iPhone and all the elegance of that user interface, I also realized that I like my BlackBerry with the buttons ... . As human beings, we really want to be able to feel things; we really want that tactility." I'm a human and I don't like the physical Blackberry key's, I can type much faster with a touchscreen than I can with small physical keys.
He wasn't talking about duplicating those small keys, he was talking about duplicating the feel of real keys on a touch-screen.
I wanted to read this article about the new touch screen. I didn't want to be tricked (lied to by a christian) into going to another site for a stinking sermon.
But now you know about the magic demon that lives inside you on the day you were born and compels you to do wicked things in order to win your soul. That's pertinent info. Forget the circus, religious nutcases are the most entertaining clowns on the planet.
I prefer entertainment that doesn't try to ruin my life.
For me, the best entertainment is the type that TRIES - but never SUCCEEDS - in ruining my life.
Did you mean the keyboard has 2 extra white keys and 1 extra black key?if so then 7 oeatvcs covers 35 black keys so 1 octave covers 5 black keys Was this answer helpful?
I prefer entertainment that doesn't want to murder me.
of course like your web site but you have to take a look at the spnllieg on quite a few of your posts. Many of them are rife with spnllieg problems and I find it very bothersome to inform the reality however I’ll surely come again again.
This is the ideal blog for anybody who derises to know about this subject. You know so a lot its pretty much tough to argue with you (not that I actually would want HaHa). You undoubtedly put a brand new spin on a subject thats been written about for years. Good stuff, just good!
Hey Pete,Your grandfather sundos like a great man. People today could still live the life and be happy the way he was. Society tries to brainwash you into thinking you need the best (most expensive) of the best. When in reality, the best things in life are free. Love, family, friends, a job you like (it doesnt have to pay all that well!) People become caught up in the game and become greedy. Trying to make the most money no matter what it takes. Money is overrated. It changes people too. But you know what it was that taught me to appreciate the real things that make life worth living? Technology. You can almost see what is good and what is bad and the internet provides you with both outlooks. I have seen so many things online and read so much that I realize that it isnt money that will make me happy. It is what I have in my heart. Whatever it is that makes you truly happy to be alive (and it never should be money.) That is what you live for. I would much rather love a man that had nothing, so long as he loved me than love a man that had everything but was too caught up in it that he never could actually see me for who I am. Call me a hopeless romantic but I would rather choose that way of life than become engulfed in the worlds fixation on superficial possessions.
