Copy Paste: Savior of the Day
In other words, I owe all respect and gratitude to the man who invented the Copy and Paste and made my words run at a faster pace!
Technology is altogether cool and helps simplify many aspects of our day-to-day operations and communication.
Emails definitely made the world a smaller place. Attachments surely saved us roundtrip flights in a few megabytes. However, that copy and paste feature, all-praised, all-blessed, all-gracious, Function of the hard workers, save my day.
On a random day in the life of moi, a translator, repetitions and recurrences do happen sometimes. When they do, they colonize my screen like ants coming in tons and tons of them to blur my vision, kill the joy of dealing with new words, bore me, and eventually slow down my strides.
Then gracious Gates makes a heavenly appearance and says:
“Copy and you shall paste, my child!”
Thanks Bill. I don’t know what my hands would have done without you, but I’m curious to know how far will you go. Are you guys considering extending this marvelous function to other aspects of our life? Will it come a day when I will be able to cut myself from a present location and paste the same self into a different place? How about copying my winter wardrobe into storage to make room for the pasted summer attire! And when the other speaker doesn’t comprehend the meaning of my frontline statement, will you copy my concepts and perceptions and paste them in the same order and manner so they think, believe, and see the same?
If you consider these aspirations of mine to be way too imaginary, please do not panic as this too may be possible. We made it possible at DITTO! Not only that, but we’re also good enough to show you how we are capable of conveying an idea from one language into another in a way easily understood by a native speaker. Meaning copying and pasting is our thing too.
Therefore, please allow us to help you acquire the technique of transference that we achieve linguistically and then we shall wait for you to apply it technologically.:)
