What if there was no backspace key?

... and you couldn't take back what you typed. How different would your answers, IMs, essays, and other writings be? In other words, you couldn't sensor your thoughts after you recorded them. Let's assume that you don't make any mistakes in your writing.

    haha thats would really suck

    coz sometimes when i write an essay that is eally boring i would just randomly type "WHY THE F**K IS THIS SO BORING" lol i dont think my teachers would be to happy with that

  • That would really stink. The backspace key has been a lifesaver for me when I've been about to say something stupid and stopped myself. Without the backspace key, there would be times when I'd make myself look like a complete idiot and/or jackass.

    I tend to ramble on when typing things. So my posts would probably be all rambles until the reader finally got to the answer at the very end.
