Wheres my .com key??



We live in a time where people are continuously trying to save seconds during the day. Here are examples of how people try to save minutes or sometimes just seconds during the day. 


1. Shower before bed. 

2. Decide what they are going to wear the night before. 

3. Set up their coffee/tea machine the night before. 

4. pack lunch the night before. 

5. Shave and brush teeth while in the shower. 


You could make the argument that by doing these things they are using the same amount of time at night but whatever, thats not the point. My point is, with people trying to save seconds all day, how do keyboards not have a .com key?? Am I the only person who realizes how lazy we all are, and how much time I waste in my life by pressing 4 keys? Heres the way I look at it. It takes me approximately .5 seconds to type .-c-o-m, and I enter .com roughly 50 times a day, probably more. 


.5 x 50 = 25 seconds a day I waste typing .com.

25 x 365 = 9,125 seconds or 152 minutes a year I waste typing .com.

Lets say I did this for 50 years, even though technology will change so I don't have to, but let's just pretend. Over a 50 year period I would have wasted 7,604 minutes typing .com. That's 126 hours or 5.2 days. 


5.2 days typing .com over 50 years?!?!?!


Just a thought.
