Re: Inner thoughts harvested for commercial exploitation

I had a similar opinion regarding the line "...type at the speed of thought".

My thoughts usually run along the lines of "Select the.. what?...yes, that thing... where value equals...wait, I need From...mm, lunch... yes, From that table... where... oh ffs, what were the columns called again...wow, I like her outfit..."

And usually these kind of thoughts occur extremely quickly, way below the level of even internal vocalisation. How my fingers know what to type is of constant amazement to me. And I didn't even type that last sentence in a linear order.
