Hahaha, good one.
Back when I was fourteen, I used to get Galaxy Magazine in Braille. There was this cute story in the first issue I ever got about a kid who ordered a "word processor." Only he mis-typed and actually got something called a world processor. When he experimented with it, he created little events. He typed something like the quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog, and it literally happened before his eyes. A fox came along and jumped over this dog. But then he tried the same thing and this time the quick brown fox jumped over the lazy fog. That's when he realized his mistake in what he ordered in the mail. So, realizing he could create just about anything, he thought he'd try something like let there be peace on earth. Only instead of the C in peace, he typed an S. So, it read "pease." Next thing he knew, pease porridge rained down on all the world. In short, barring the attendant risks, it'd be nice to have a world processor.
LOL then people who tend to make a lot of typos would really cause problems.
I had a friend who once wrote a short story about a guy who invented a computer similar to the world processor of your story. He could type in the name of a person whom he disliked and then hit the delete key, and the person would actually disappear.
And if you needed someone to detail every event in your life, you could just turn on the
narrator
That reminds me of a short Stephen King story, but I'm going to have to go look it up, and reread it. I think it had to do with computers and using them to make someone vanish. But, I can't remember all the details.

Funny. That could be great, but really, we can't even imagine how bad it could be if someone typed something wrong.
