IF KEYBOARDS COULD SPEAK...

Imagination – A marvellous feeling that permits human beings to be whatever they want to be or whatever they want to think. This vibrant world seems to push the envelope of beliefs and thoughts as far as their alignment is concerned with one person to another. Sometimes, this disagreement among people causes conflicts. Can’t the contrasting speculations, ideas, or intuitions of one person reach another without any argument? Can it be done peacefully? Can human beings do it? Well, it is challenging for human beings, as they are too smart creatures on earth to conduct this small task. Then who can do it on their behalf? Can machines help human beings? Can machines help human beings impose an individual’s thoughts on another individual without any offense? Sometimes it gives immense pleasure to build castles in the air. Here, imagination takes off—what if keyboards could speak! If keyboards start speaking, people would start pressing the keys to express their myriad views without annoying anybody, which might prevent them to fall in frustration. This competitive and fast world demands tremendous hard work, which usually causes frustration, anxiety, and tension. In this tough time, cramped words wear the crown for unfavorable feelings to commute from one person to another. In this kind of situation, one's imagination travels in mind; if words are replaced with keyboard keys to express human beings’ hidden feelings, what would be the take-on? A few examples of the utilization of the keyboard keys for expressing human feelings: During the pandemic, online teaching has depressed teachers. Frustration has dug a hole in the hearts of teachers as far as the completion of the syllabus is concerned. Students have equally developed the inability to grasp the concepts easily and quickly, so these teachers would prefer to press ‘WINDOW KEY’ to get the work done quickly and get rid of their duty as soon as possible. Today, the corporate field is considered to be a horrible place to work. Especially in private companies where the boss and CCTV cameras hover like black clouds over the heads of employees. They work under pressure, but they can’t speak a single word against the orders of their boss, which makes them fall frustrated. In this situation, they would love to press ‘ESC KEY’ to abort all the orders, instructions, and so-called mail sent by the authorities at every moment. We observe that people constantly fight due to religions and caste systems. Many priests who consider themselves religious add fuel to the fire for the same. This petty thinking similes the lowercase letters on the screen, which cannot go beyond this pseudo-thinking. Here, some good social workers would prefer to press the ‘CAPS LOCK KEY’ to convert lowercase thinking into uppercase without offending any priests in society. In our country, there are many children, elderly people, and handicapped people who are helpless; they don’t have any support. Here, they would require ‘SHIFT KEY’ to be pressed by some supporters for a supportive and happy life. Various affirmative laws of other countries can be administered in India to set up a better government. That thought motivates Narendra Modi to keep in touch with the prime ministers of other nations, but many politicians in India put a lid on these better arrangements and stand as hurdles, which panoplies animosity for their own nation. In this kind of situation, Modiji would love to press the CNTRL + C and CNTRL + V to copy the rules of other countries in his country without informing anybody in the nation. In professional and personal life, everyone requires a little space for himself or herself after completing the entire hectic day. Space gives mental peace and some creative ideas for mental and physical growth, but it also offends people who don’t want to give you space. Here, people who want some space would press ‘SPACEBAR KEY’ to have it without offending anyone around them. The 21st century has given free wings to women, whereas men sometimes find themselves in the category of miserable creatures. Especially in the conversation between a husband and a wife, many times it is found that the wife takes the matter in the wrong way if the husband says it in the right way, and when the husband finds something wrong, for the wife, it is always right. In this kind of speechless stage, a husband would love to press ‘ARROW KEY’ to control his wife and make her go left, right, up, and down according to his wish so that he could lead a peaceful life. Naughty and mischievous children make mistakes and also get hurt while playing. While going back home, they get afraid of being scolded or beaten by their mother. Here each child would take the help of ‘BACKSPACE KEY’ to remove the mistakes he/she made while playing. ‘DELETE KEY’ is the most magnificent key that can be utilized each and every moment by mother-in-laws and daughter-in-laws. Without speaking a single word, it is a very profitable source for both of them to let their frustration come out. This key doesn’t require much discourse. College life allows students to be on the ninth cloud. It becomes tedious to attend lectures by some boring professors, but demanding attendance forces students to sit and stare at the professors and projectors, although with absent minds, without speaking a single word. In this situation, they would prefer to press ‘PAUSE KEY’ to take some breath in the middle of the lecture. Teenage is considered to be the magical age. This age takes teenagers either to the higher stage or to the down one with its invisible magic. During this stage, teenagers, who have realized that they have gone astray, would prefer to press ‘HOME KEY’ to come back on track, to be at the beginning point of their lives once again, so that they can be with their family and friends. The generation gap is one of the major issues on earth. To balance that, youngsters need to accept some of the old notions of parents, and parents should also give them the required space and freedom, which will help them make steps with the new world. But discussions on these matters convert into arguments. This situation forces them to press ‘END KEY’ to end this gap and lead a peaceful life. If a boy likes a girl or a girl is attracted towards the boy, it becomes a little difficult for them to express their feelings of appreciation in words, so they can press ‘! KEY’ with the words ‘Oh’, 'Ah', or ‘Wow ’instead of using the words ‘Beautiful’ or ‘Wonderful’. In this opportunistic world, girls and boys should be equal, but in some societies, gender discrimination has not yet left its effect. Still, gender discrimination takes follow-ups for not allowing girls to have their rights. This situation will push the social reformers to press ‘= KEY’ to bring about change in this kind of society without speaking a single word. Numerous students want to convert their hobby into a career, but our education system, focusing only on percentages, won’t allow them to pave their paths. These kinds of frustrated students would love to press ‘% KEY’ to have as many percentages as they want. In the age of artificial intelligence, machines can be the most amicable sources for human beings in their happy and sad moments. Here, keyboard keys help human beings express their frustrating feelings, and no one gets offended as they are just machines—the best friends of human beings.
