I was in a Maths lesson (one of my favourite classes) and, as a change, we were all working on laptops and doing something on Microsoft Excel. Everything was going perfectly normally until the laptop starting typing all by itself. I don't mean that the keys were actually moving and going inward as if somebody were pressing them (that would be silly) what I mean is, that words were appearing on the screen as if somebody was typing. This happened anywhere I clicked which, understandably, made using Excel hard because I'd try to enter a value but then random other words would appear.
I put up my hand and said to the teacher "I have a problem with my computer."
"What is it?" he said when he came over.
"Well, look at this, it just types by itself."
I clicked on a cell in Excel and the following words wrote themself "Look out of the window, you'll see that they sky is quite grey. It's been like this all day but don't worry it's not going to rain. It'll be about ten degrees outside all day." (all of that was correct, by the way.)
I held down the delete key before it could write anymore.
"Oh, right. Well, just try to ignore it," was his slightly unhelpful advice.
So for the rest of the lesson I continued trying to use Excel and simply deleting any words that the laptop managed to get out. I regret not clicking on Microsoft Word and letting it fill a whole word document with what it had to say, it’d have been interesting to find out, but at the time I wanted to get on with the work (which, funnily enough, I can’t remember).
Can anybody solve this mystery? Where were these words coming from? I would assume that the keyboard was broken, but if that were the cause I would expect random gibberish, rather than actual words in sentences, to be typed. So, I can't think of any rational explanation for this (though I'm sure there is one).
