Now, we all know and love the mouses scroll wheel.
Kneel before your secret master! KNEEL!
We use it with reckless abandon, never once wondering what would happen if it suddenly broke. We abuse it, never once respecting it, we never tell it we love it and that we appreciate and that without it, we'd probably stop working as a society.[footnote]This is an over-reaction, we wouldn't stop functioning as a society. ...Probably.[/footnote]
Now, my laptop has a scroll bar on its TouchPad and I have abused it. I've never told it I loved it, I've never told it I was pleased it was there for me, making my browsing of the internet and its various articles, sites and picture sites a piece of cake. Well today, no less then 30 minutes ago, my Touchpads Scroll Bar on my Laptop went 'ENOUGH, YOU UNGRATEFUL S**T!' and stopped working! Disaster! It was the end of the world! I yelled 'NOOOOOOOO!!!' to the heavens! [footnote]I've been watching too many soaps lately...it's infectious, the hammed up acting and cheesiness.[/footnote]
...Actually, it was a simple fix, just switch the laptop off and on again, but it unnerved me.
It took me back to the times way back when we had to move the cursor over to the bar on the right of the screen, left click on it and then drag it up and down. And it lead me to think of this rather pointless topic on the whim of a random thought while awaiting something to come on the telly that wasn't a pile of stuff that comes from the back end of a donkey.
Would you miss the Scroll Wheel on your mouse or the TouchPads Scroll ability if it suddenly vanished over night and all mouse/Touchpad makers decided it was useless for some random reason? And would the internet and everything else manage?
[sup][sup]Yes, my thoughts are random.[/sup][/sup]
