if you want a vision of the future, imagine this guy hitting Print Screen on your keyboard, forever

The famous Drinking Bird, a novelty toy which mimics the motions of a bird drinking from a water source using the same principle as a heat engine. In the Simpsons episode 'King-Size Homer', he uses the bird as a labor-saving device to continually press the 'Y' key on his home computer terminal.

@jk He gazed up at the enormous face. Forty years it had taken him to learn what kind of smile was hidden beneath the dark moustache. O cruel, needless misunderstanding! O stubborn, self-willed exile from the loving breast! Two gin-scented tears trickled down the sides of his nose. But it was all right, everything was all right, the struggle was finished. He had won the victory over himself. He loved Big Data.
