Tinman Typist: Difference between revisions

 

* Something similar in the ''[[Ghost in the Shell]]'' film: There are at least two scenes in which we see cybernetically enhanced individuals extend their fingers into some highly dexterous tentacle-things which they then use to type on keyboards. Mind-links have been shown to exist and be common, so there is no good reason for having them do this.

*** There was also Dr. Willis, a brown-haired suit-wearing fellow and an expert in AI, who hooked himself up to a computer with a cable to the neck port and then started typing with the same kind of fingers the secretaries had. No benefit was obvious on screen.

*** One still could do it offline, then let it be sent without real time end-to-end connections. Like some actual proxies do.

** What makes Yuki an interesting example is she didn't know how to type when first presented with the laptop. As the week progresses, she goes from slowly typing with one finger to breezily touch-typing to blurringly fast typing that is just barely within the bounds of human capability.

** There's also the fact she shouldn't be freaking out the natives, especially not to tip off Haruhi about aliens being real. As a result she probably has to do a lot of redundant tasks just to appear human. {{spoiler|This is more evident in her apartment, where it seems like only the absolute basic necessities are there, and only because she had a guest. Otherwise it's just a place for her to disappear to after school.}}
