One-Hand Five-Finger Keyboard


The story of an one-hand keyboard replacement goes back to the year 1968, when Doug Engelbart came up with a small five-key device that looked like the piano’s attempt to go digital. Characters were entered by playing chords… sorry, punching certain combinations of keys. As we know, this kind of musician’s keyboard failed to crush the original thing with rows and rows of qwertys.

It doesn’t mean one can’t make another go, pondered designer Erik Campbell; it’s just that not all people like to play the piano. While a gadget along the lines of a mouse might gain popularity! And he conceived of something that all but brought the word fish into the world of computers.

First One-Hand Chorded Keyboard

His is a jellyfish type of a five-key keyboard, definitely more gay in terms of color, and made to fit under your palm. As long as you remember all the button combinations, you can easily emulate everything your bigger keyboard can do.

Now does it sound exciting to have a red jellyfish around your PC or convenient to use just one hand, or will we give designers a signal to work out a better accomplishment of the idea for us?

Katy Perry for GHD Hairdryers

Katy Perry for GHD Hairdryers Katy Perry continues working with the producers of GHD hair dryers and GHD hair care products: the singer once again demonstrated her luxurious hair in a fresh advertising campaign – this time she had the image of a diva from “the golden Hollywood” era (the pop-diva had already had the image of a hippie, a disco girl, and a mermaid). Luxurious dresses, bright makeup and a small portion of theatricality – one can immediately see that she is a star! The shooting was run by Ellen von Unwerth, who preferred to focus on restrained sensuality and the interplay of tones rather than on bright colors (the latter are always excessive with Katy) and presented black-and-white portraits of Perry to the public. The girl really looks perfect in the pictures : whether she is playing chess, recovering after a tiring concert or just getting ready to appear on stage. But whose merit is this: that of the photographer, the heroine, or maybe Photoshop?
