00:00:00.07 --> 00:00:02.08
- From the dawn of personal computing,

2
00:00:02.08 --> 00:00:04.07
humankind has been looking for a tool

3
00:00:04.07 --> 00:00:06.05
that you can just draw with.

4
00:00:06.05 --> 00:00:08.08
You know, like when you
draw with a 20 cent pencil

5
00:00:08.08 --> 00:00:10.05
on a one cent piece of paper,

6
00:00:10.05 --> 00:00:12.07
except you want to do
that with an obscenely

7
00:00:12.07 --> 00:00:16.03
complicated zillion dollar
computer application instead.

8
00:00:16.03 --> 00:00:20.00
This dream escaped us for about 27 years,

9
00:00:20.00 --> 00:00:21.03
which is not a joke.

10
00:00:21.03 --> 00:00:23.00
That's the exact length of time.

11
00:00:23.00 --> 00:00:26.08
But now it's a reality and
it's called the pencil tool.

12
00:00:26.08 --> 00:00:29.02
No really, the pencil
tool used to be horrible

13
00:00:29.02 --> 00:00:30.07
but now it's great.

14
00:00:30.07 --> 00:00:32.02
So okay watch this.

15
00:00:32.02 --> 00:00:33.05
This is what it looks like when you

16
00:00:33.05 --> 00:00:34.08
draw with the pencil tool.

17
00:00:34.08 --> 00:00:36.06
It's a crooked little train wreck, right?

18
00:00:36.06 --> 00:00:38.04
Oh, wow, I really messed up there.

19
00:00:38.04 --> 00:00:40.05
But then, when I release the mouse button,

20
00:00:40.05 --> 00:00:42.09
no really I'm drawing with the mouse here,

21
00:00:42.09 --> 00:00:44.01
it turns into this.

22
00:00:44.01 --> 00:00:45.02
Let's see that again.

23
00:00:45.02 --> 00:00:47.06
Here I am drawing and this is after.

24
00:00:47.06 --> 00:00:49.04
You can do this too.

25
00:00:49.04 --> 00:00:51.00
I know, on one hand, you're thinking

26
00:00:51.00 --> 00:00:52.05
"really, I have to pay hundreds

27
00:00:52.05 --> 00:00:54.06
"of dollars a year for a pencil?"

28
00:00:54.06 --> 00:00:57.01
But see, on the other
hand, this is a pencil

29
00:00:57.01 --> 00:01:00.04
that knows what you meant to
draw the moment you release.

30
00:01:00.04 --> 00:01:04.00
It's like a smart pencil
only even smarter.
