In praise of the capacitive stylus

Who could imagine (dragon
chain and bowling ball), nevertheless

creating metal stick with a rubber tip

conveniently used to tap screen
on iPad or on cell phones?

Said manually manipulated

accessory to press the keys

of an Ipad or cell phone most necessary
(and unknown inventor
laughing all the way to the bank)
to avoid typing an incorrect
alphanumeric or special character.

Pen-like tool
applied to touchscreens
mimics a human finger
by using conductive tip
(like rubber, foam, or metal)
to disrupt the screen's electrostatic field,
allowing said surface
to register touch commands
without needing
internal electronics or batteries,
making it universal
for most smartphones, tablets,
and other capacitive touch devices.

Until acquiring one
in tandem with an Apple iPad
from a fellow tenant
named Bill Thurman,
an older incapacitated
obese fellow (confined
to a motorized wheelchair)
offered me two of these devices
(about the size
of than average cigarette,
one of which got misplaced)
definitely allows, enables and provides
ease access to press intended keys.

There wasn't one single inventor
of the capacitive stylus; rather,
the underlying
capacitive touch screen technology
developed by E.A. Johnson (1960s)
for finger input,
while brothers Ronald
and Malcolm Binstead
(mid-1980s) pioneered
projected capacitive touchscreens,
and later inventors
like James Tagg
(Sunlight Aerospace)
refined them for modern devices,
with early stylus use
for touchscreens
appearing with resistive tech
(Sam Hurst's Elograph, 1970s)
and transparent capacitive ones
(Beck & Stumpe, 1973).

Such a simple device
could even be utilized
by a para or quadriplegic
courtesy applying teeth
to hold and point
the pseudo/quasi rubber nib.

Innovative breakthroughs, no longer need yoke
persons rendered incapacitated prosthetics aid

and severely injured courtesy some freaky friday

unintended animosity videt conservative provoke
a rebellion spurring (I)mmigration and (C)ustoms
(E)nforcement-ICE agents trumpeting command
against antagonistic mortals whose apt reference
pay obeisance to most famous thunder god Tho
in Norse mythology, known for his hammer Mjölnir,
strength, and role as protector, but other dynamic
mythologies feature similar figures, like Zeus
(Greek), Perun (Slavic), Indra (Hindu),
and Taranis (Celtic).

Over feeling their God insulted summoning yore

a large extinct marine reptile of the Mesozoic era,
with a broad flat body, large paddle-like limbs, and
typically a long flexible neck and small head, which

hashtagged with the popular singular name Kishore
Kishore (or Kishor) is a popular Indian name from
Sanskrit meaning "young, youthful, adolescent,
or a colt," representing vigor and energy,
often associated with Lord Krishna
in his young form, and also means the Sun
in some contexts,
cognate signifies a vibrant spirit,
the prime of life,
and used across India and Nepal.
