OK so this made me laugh!
I was browsing through gmail, just checking different things out and looking for what other services they're coming up with, when I came across Gmail Motion.
According to some people the keyboard and mouse are slowly becoming things of the past, which I'm not exactly sure how that's going to happen (as one needs an input device of some sort - unless it becomes totally controlled by voice or like the iPad your screen includes the keyboard) but Google has decided to be ready for that "inevitable" day. As a result they have come up with a "brilliant" idea - cough, cough... Gmail Motion!
Much like the Wii, it's your body that writes the email... excuse me?! I saw the video of all the various motions they've come up with and well... - at the risk of sounding like a TOTAL geek - it reminded me a lot of the Ginyu Force pose in the Dragon Ball Z series:
It's hilarious!
Following is the chart Google published regarding all the poses available to "write" your emails:
If you compare the two images you will see similarities.
So according to this new technology all our future emails will be danced in front of the computer, supposedly saving us time and keeping us active during office hours.... Well if that's the only option I'd rather leave a voice mail! If talking to the computer is considered too loud and disruptive for the other people in the office what do you think jumping and waving your arms in front of your computer will do to our coworkers' concentrations??? o.O
Can I please join a gym and keep the keyboard??? Please?
