The type tool

The type tool. It is a simple yet powerful tool in just about every editing program that there is. This tool is the backbone for fonts and typography. Just to be honest, I can't think of a program that does not have some form of type tool. I mean it's used in not only programs but on the computer period or any other device that has a keyboard or keypad. Nowadays, you can even download apps such as Microsoft Office and Photoshop to your tablet and mobile devices and even those use the type tool! This tool is so awesome, and the funny thing is that most people don't even realize it. 

What is the type tool?

Now like I said this tool is simple. The type tool is what you use to type with. The shortcut for the type tool is the letter T. You can type letters, numbers, characters, and symbols with it. Without the type tool, there would be no way of reading information. If it wasn't for the type tool, we would still be writing with a pen and pad today! I'm not saying there's anything wrong with that at all. The fact is that everybody's handwriting is different and not everyone can write legibly, I'm just saying. I can't even imagine how it used to feel without being able to type. Come to think of it, all these words you are reading right now came from the type tool haha!

What do I think about it?

I think of the type tool almost like a pair of glasses or something that is convenient and useful throughout the day. I use it constantly everyday. Whether its on a computer, tablet, phone, I use it on everything. Without it, life would be hard because my own handwriting isn't that good, even for myself. Going back to example on glasses, sure there are other methods to correct your eyesight, but without them, life would be a struggle. I think a lot of people probably feel the same way and have gotten to the point where they have used it for years and don't think twice about it because it's just second nature for them now. 

But yeah that's the type tool! Now go ahead and tell me, better yet type what the type tool means to you!
