www.dontclick.it

I stumbled across this website earlier today and I thought it would be perfect for our class discussion. Alex Frank, from Germany, created and programmed this website that uses only mouseover instead of mouse clicks to activate buttons. I encourage everyone to try it. This innovative idea could become a monumental part of input devices in the future. From my experience, clicking with mouses and laptop pads takes fractions of a second every time we click. With this change of input, we could learn to become much faster at clicking and activitating things we wanted to click without having to. This very small change could save days if not weeks of computer time giving us more time for other parts of our life. Just like blinking takes a massive chunk of our life that we see away, clicking takes up an unnecessary time of our life away that we could have back. I believe that with the proper training and experience with this new technique we could lead much more efficient lives. I'm one hundred percent in favor for this new idea and would love to see it implemented as an option into Windows or other operating system or program. In addition, this might help to prevent many computer-related diseases resulting from clicking and using a computer mouse too much. I'm not certain if clicking affects different ligament problems associated with using a computer mouse too much, but if it does then this technique would be an even greater help. I enjoyed using this website, and I thought the three different guestures provided (the sideways movement, the circular movement, and the timer) would be great replacements for the traditional click. This definitely should be an option in each of our operating systems today.
