"No, the—touch rectangle."  He points to the trackpad.  "Stylus also sounds too hard to do most of the time, but still easier than those two."

"Trackpad," he provides. "Sure, it should be easy to set up." He's gonna go turn the laptop on again and finish scarfing down the gimbap.

"I don't know if there are any ways to make a phone have buttons I can press easily."

"Phone's a bit harder 'cause of the screen real estate but that really sounds like a problem for people who have less money than me. I also have a tablet if you want, though." Once again he will tether the internet from his phone to go Google some way to get the arrows to control the mouse or something. "You can just, like, use the keyboard for things—this here button gets the Start Menu and then you can just type the name of whatever app you want, Chrome is for internet, and then there's, like, stuff you can do with control and shift and tab and alt—but probably getting a way to make you able to control the mouse using the arrows is a good idea."

Nod.

...he's cute. Why is this cute? It's so cute. 

"Now you press the enter key."

Enter.

Here's Google Chrome!

"So Google and Wikipedia are the biggest things you should learn. If you press tab," point, "that generally moves your selection to different elements on the app your computer is focused on, so you can press it until you select the address bar here. Shift tab—this one is shift—moves back to the previously selected element instead if you press it one too many times. 

"Then you can just type something you're looking for here and it will automatically use Google for it, which is this site that lets you just look for things online. If you type Wikipedia, that's W-I-K-I-P-E-D-I-A, the first search result will be it. Oh and press enter at the end."

w        i      k i        p      e        d            i         a                  enter            tab            tab  — okay quite a lot of tab presses are necessary; Jeremy's finger starts passing through the key or stopping up against it without being able to push it down increasingly many times, and he seems to get a little out of breath.  But eventually:

"This one?  Enter?  'The Free Encyclopedia'?"

Permalink

"Yeah, that's the one. Is pressing and holding easier than pressing many times? Or harder?"

Permalink

"Might be harder.  I think it's only exerting because I'm trying to do it so many times so fast."  Enter.  ".....Now I select 'English'?"

Permalink

"You don't need to, that's the default. Just type the thing you want to look up and press enter."

Permalink

"...What do I want to look up?"

Permalink

"...I dunno. Is there anything you wanna know about? Maybe something that changed recently? I dunno."

Permalink

"...Hm."

"—Huh."

"Blue text is links to other pages, if you press control enter it will open a page to another tab so you can look at it later. Control tab switches between tabs, control W closes the current tab, control T opens a new empty tab, control shift T opens the most recently closed tab in order if you accidentally close the wrong tab."

Permalink

"....Can you write that down for me somewhere I'll be able to reference it?"

Permalink

"Yes, sir." He grabs the tablet he bought Jeremy, opens a notetaking app- "Oh I'm gonna write stuff down here first because I'm sure there'll be things I'll remember later so I'll write it by hand elsewhere once I'm more confident we got most things."

Tap tap tap.

"I—yeah, that seems like it makes sense."

 

He reads and scrolls through the page some more, and then—"Okay, nope, I'm done for a while—"  He curls up horizontally in the air, panting and looking ill.

Permalink

"...you okay?"

Permalink

"I will be.... This just happens when I—hh—try to touch too many things...."

Permalink

"Oh. I'm sorry. ...uh, to scroll down you can press page down, it'll go farther down than pressing tab all the time." He wants to hug Jeremy. "Am I allowed to hug you for this?"

Permalink

 

"Yeah..."  The angle's not the best for it and he doesn't fix that, although he does translate himself over to rest the side of his head on Jake's shoulder.

Permalink

He's cute. Jake will hug him.

Snuggle.

"Normally I can do a lot more than this, but I think—I—probably spent a lot of what I would have had, over the next... few months, on.... resurrecting you."
