Richard Farnña wrote a song, “Pack Up Your Sorrows”, arguably his best and probably his most famous song. He dedicated it to someone “…who was the first to know it’s simple meaning”.Which tells me that there is a simple message here.
Do you ever wish you could “undo” (cmd/ctrl Z) something you’ve just done or said? It happens to me all the time. Not exactly like regret, but something like that. We have a new tool (because of the computer and Apple’s early Developer’s Guidelines).
I think it would be nice to extend the cmd/ctrl Z to all areas of life. Run a stop sign? No problem. cmd/ctrl Z. Say something stupid (”like I love you”)? Not to worry. The press of a simple keystroke combination makes everything right. Just think what would happen to politics. We could eliminate war! Providing of course that people use it. It’s one thing to be able to take back regrets, but another thing to consider the regrettable to be commendable.
For that we will need “Multiple Undo”
Apple can figure it out for us. Theyve done it before.
Steve Jobs once again to the rescue of civilization with a simple message. Just like Richard Fariña said.
