Ok. Election fever aside. This thought came to my mind and i think it's pretty true.
Remember the days when keypads on our mobile phones were literally keypads and not the virtual ones? Well, remember T9 English Dictionary?
Sadly, i would have to say most kids born after year 2000 wouldn't even know, moreover use it. T9 English dictionary was a revolutionary spelling tool that enabled us to spell words quickly using keypads on our phone. During the sms craze era, i was able to type 150 characters under a minute. Mind you it was with a keypad, not keyboard!! Some of my friends could even type without looking. There were no such thing as an auto-correct typo cause auto-correct doesn't exist. You got to know your spellings alphabet by alphabet.
Somehow it's still available on some smartphones nowadays but i think we would rather use keyboard instead. Another great invention on it's way to the tech museum.
