While many people try to teach their parents and grandparents how to surf the web, most find it challenging to acclimatize them to the poorly placed computer components. Even after they take cognizance of the functional requirements of the components, it is a tedious task for them to type a sentence on a keyboard that is not alphabetically arranged or to drag the mouse pointer from one corner of the screen to the other to simply click a button. The frustration of the impatient makes you wonder if the QWERTY keyboard and the harmless mouse are amongst the worst User Experience designs ever. Consider installing this application for them, if you yourself don't find it much useful. My plan is to extend this application to as many foreign languages as possible. I'd appreciate support and suggestions from people using this application and contribute towards innovation of perceptual computing.
