Chapter 1368 - Happy Ministers
"Ministers... Please, have a seat."

--1 hour later--

"Hahahahaha~... Marvelous! Marvelous! Your team has done it this time!" One of the ministers exclaimed, patting Tim on his best excitedly.
"Yes. Yes!" The others added, making Tim restrain himself from rolling his eyes.
Who was it that had compliments earlier?
Who was it that wore their faces as though they were standing on dog sh**?
Oh... So now it"s okay?
Heh.
The ministers sure did have thick faces because they seemed to act as though they had been pleased all along.
In the end, they quickly realized how vital the mouse was.
Lying trough. Though the directional keys were there, the mouth was just too easy to maneuver.
Again, the directional keys could also be used as a backup if a person lost their mouse and needed to do work urgently.
One shouldn"t forget that with the directional keys, a person couldn"t still change the volume and brightness of the screen.
In the end, many of their previous problems were for naught.
Sigh... As expected, one really couldn"t judge a book by its cover.
Again, even with some key b.u.t.tons repeated, some lefters grew fond of the intro b.u.t.ton to the left, while others that heavily relied on their right hand used the control b.u.t.ton on their right instead.
There were too many advantages of having multiple repeated keys.
And only after using the computers for themselves did they understand why things were placed the way they were.
In fact, they thought it was perfect.
For now, they couldn"t truly make any changes to the keyboard or the mouse.
Well... Maybe in the future, the pads will change. But for now, they couldn"t see it.
.
Like so, after using the computers for an hour, they all became lax, merrily talking about the best features on the computers.
"Security! I like that we have to use a username and pa.s.sword before logging in. That"s just too brilliant."
"Exactly! And what"s even more ingenious is that on the same computer, we can create a maximum of 4 profiles. Hahahahaha... I will definitely create one for my husband, another for my children, and one for guests. It"s just perfect!"
"Yes. But don"t forget that program called "Bycrosoft Word." Amazing! Now, all doc.u.ments can be done here and stored on the computer."
"That"s right. We can also send files via this email thing, and it will appear in a matter of seconds. But that"s not all. There"s also Excel that has inbuilt public mathematical formulas!"
"Say no more. I"m impressed with this. Even on the computer, it"s made multiple files like downloads, picture files and whatnot to make organizing a freeze."
"That"s right. But maybe the most amazing thing is that amazing app called Google Chrome. There"s also another one called firefox. But I prefer Google Chrome."
"Hey! What do you know? I like Firefox more than Chrome. Don"t insult my Firefox!"
"Guys... Guys... You"re both wrong. Clearly, Bycrosoft Edge is the best."
"Best my foot! With your bad eyes for good things, I"m beginning to doubt your onions in matters. That is, are you all blind? It"s Google Chrome that"s the best!"
"Screw you, Gordan. How dare you steal my lines? Even a blind man on the road will pick Firefox!"
"d.a.m.n you all! Today has opened my eyes. In the future, don"t recommend any products to me. Because if you all can"t see that Bycrosoft Edge is the best, then would be you be recommending trash to me?"
"You tasteless people! Chrome is the best!"
"Bycrosoft Edge!"
"Firefox!"
"Chrome!"

...
Landon listened to these grown adults arguing, only feeling helpless.
Sigh... It looks like the war from earth has found its way back here.
Everyone will inevitably have their best internet browsers.
The system had rewarded all 3 programs to him. And the reason why he didn"t build back in making them was because he didn"t want the Baymardians to heavenly focus on one, or else in future, it might be more challenging for other programmers to break into the market.
That"s right.
Imagine if he started off with just Chrome?
If people used it for a long time, they would only think browsers should look exactly like chrome.
Whether one admitted it or not, Firefox, Edge and Chrome had different themes and designs, though they all did the same thing.
Many might like the style of ease when using firefox. And others might prefer chrome"s navigational ease.
In short, if he started with just one, getting people to accept other methods or ways down the line might be harder... Seeing the standard he set.
More importantly, people will be very forgiving to future programmers if he didn"t create the variations.
It"s clear to see that each browser was different. And what was an advantage to one can be a disadvantage to other people.
The programs he made were not perfect. Each program from earth had its flaws, whether one accepted it or not.
So having 3 of them out in the open with pros and cons was what he needed.
And in future, other Baymardians who wanted to create their own unique browsers won"t face too much criticism from the ma.s.ses.
Who knows... They might even be able to create one better than the browsers he provided now.
.
Likewise, in the offices and even in the school, everyone will have their preferred go-to browser.
This was a fact.
And during the fall semester of this year, he planned to introduce computer studies to the children.
No... They won"t be learning programming or anything of that nature.
They"ll learn how to use Word, hand displacement on the keypads, computer shortcut knowledge and many other essential skills.
That way, once they got out, some could put it on their resumes, knowing how fast they could type and how proficient they were with some programs.
Even learning to create presentations and present them was a plus.
Both citizens and international students would be allowed to learn.
After all, around Baymard, cyber cafes with computer access will be available for everyone. And public libraries will also have them too.
Overall, the ministers were pleased!
