Cursor for Conversations

Waiting patiently with buffered comments is not my idea of a conversation.  I tend to include (intrude) my thoughts while others are expressing theirs - I interrupt.  I see it as being engaged, listening, responding - a dynamic conversation.  I liken it to reading online articles. I'll often take my cursor and follow the hyperlinks adding to and rounding out the topic.  Free-forming, real-time dialogue is invigorating, though not necessarily considered polite.  A conversation cursor could solve the problem.  And it would be a perfect new app for augmented reality glasses.

As you probably know, I use tech terms as an overlay for personal experience.  It's fun, and a slightly different angle often can offer a better understanding to a situation.  Here's TechTerm.com's definition for cursor.  "The cursor on your screen can indicate two things:  1) where your mouse pointer is, or 2) where the next character typed will be entered in a line text."  I'm interrupting the definition to include my idea.  As I envision a Cursor for Conversations, when someone wants to add to the conversation, their thoughts will automatically be typed out on everyone's glasses screen.  The thoughts will be interjected by the placement of your cursor.  The conversation will not be interrupted, and all expressions are included.  Perfect.  It'll encourage dynamic, free-flowing conversations. 

Back to the cursor definition.  "The mouse cursor is most often an arrow that you can use to point to different objects on your screen.  When the cursor is over an object, you can click or double-click the mouse button to perform an action on that object (such as opening a program)."  I'm going to interrupt again.  I'd like to be able to open more than a program with this new app.  Opening a mind would be real progress regarding many conversations I've had lately. 

Back to the definition.   "The mouse cursor can change into other images, such as a small hand (when you roll over a link in a Web page), or an hourglass (when Windows is "thinking" so hard, it won't let you click on anything)."  Another thought - knowing someone is thinking about what you're saying is a good thing.  To software developers out there - this will be a valuable feature to include. 

Definition continued.  "The text cursor is typically a straight vertical line or I-shaped object that flashes in a line of text."  Excuse me, but I know that.  "Typically, when you are typing a paper, the cursor will be at the end of the line, because you are adding new text to the uncharted white area. of the page."  I especially like the idea of white space and conversations being uncharted.

Definition.  "However, if you want to insert a word or erase somewhere else in a line of text, you can use the mouse cursor to click the position where you would like to insert the text."  Erasing some of the things I say would be a good thing.  Take note app developers. 

In closing, "In most word processing programs, once you start typing, the text cursor continues to flash, but the mouse point disappears until you move the mouse again.  This is avoid, "cursor Confusion," since most people can't type and click on things at the same time."  I agree, avoiding confusion is always a good thing.

Who would have guessed a definition for cursor would be so involved and detailed?  My friends would probably say to me,  "Just get to the point,"  Maybe the Cursor for Conversations app should include a quick scroll through to the end.  No, that won't work, conversations are best uncharted.  

Know I'm open for conversations with lots of white space and interruptions.  

As always, the SEARCH is on.  Join me.
