Please visit my channel to watch a one-minute video clip in which popular atheist author Richard Dawkins admits that homosexual activists "hijacked the word 'gay'".

The word "gay" helps homosexual activists push their agenda.

do you look at a 16th century catapult and say 'i could build a better one' ? im sure you could not.
etc etc
you have no point here.
old hat, old tech, old ideas is not the same as me saying they are crap or bad ideas.
i am not saying there is much better in that genre of human-computer interface, i am saying that what he is presenting is not new.
what are you failing to understand ?
if someone says it is old stuff, seen years before, pioneered by others, it does NOT mean i need to give you examples of something better ... it has nothing to do with it
