SKYWRITER: The Story

                      by James J. Keene, Ph.D.

              (writing reports is . . ) THE   BAD  GUY:
   Do you have to write reports on your activities?  Do you dislike
writing reports on your activities?  The answer is, "Yes," for
countless occupations, including doctors, pilots, social workers,
interviewers, quality controllers, bankers and salespersons.  The
list goes on and on.

                   MENTION  THE  HERO (SkyWriter):
    The SkyWriter is a new writing method designed for these "Yes"
people, by brain researcher James J. Keene, Ph.D., and his wife,
psychiatrist Nilda M. Keene, M.D.

                        THE  PLOT  THICKENS:
    Consider the problem.  Taking notes during the activity can slow
you down and distract you from the task at hand.  So the solution is
word-processing, right?  Wrong.  Word-processing has the same
problems as taking notes, and numerous keystrokes and training are
also required.  Besides, who can operate a computer while doing their
normal work activity?

                    OUR  HERO  FINALLY  ARRIVES:
    Enter the SkyWriter, which replaces the normal two step process:
do the job, then write the report.  SkyWriter lets you write your
report while you do the job, saving both time and money.  When you
finish a work activity, the report is also done at the same time. 
This is called "real-time writing."

                              SUSPENSE:
    How does it work?  SkyWriter runs on personal computers and
requires only a few minutes of training.  The key is that single
keystrokes (or mouse clicks) cause whole sentences or paragraphs to
be written.
    "As with many new technologies," Dr. James Keene said, "you have
to see it to really understand it.  The same was true when
word-processing was introduced several decades ago."
    In one application, psychiatrists use SkyWriter to produce the
written psychiatric evaluation of a patient during the interview of
the patient.

                   OUR  HERO  GETS  THE  BAD  GUY:
    "When one of our psychiatrist users had a computer hardware
problem," Keene said, "he simply closed his office until the problem
was fixed, rather then go back to the old, inefficient method of note
taking.  Of course, word-processing during a psychiatric interview
was not possible." 
    "This shows the quantum leap in efficiency," Keene added.  "A
stock broker may simply go home if the phones are out.  Similarly,
after you use SkyWriter, it's hard to imagine working without it." 

                    OUR  HERO  SAVES  US  AGAIN:
    Another psychiatrist discovered a further advantage of the
SkyWriter method.  It can generate confidence among clients.  One day
a patient showed up with his lawyer.  They needed a written
psychiatric evaluation for a court appearance in one hour.  No other
psychiatrist in the city could do it.  In less than that time,
however, the SkyWriter user was able to provide a perfectly typed,
fully complete evaluation.

                  AND THEY LIVE HAPPILY EVER AFTER:
