One of the main problems that has been detected when introducing the computer in teaching and other areas has been that of the current peripheral. On input peripherals, for example, the normal alphanumeric keyboard has the drawback of memorizing commands or instructions and typing characters into characters. This has been the reason why many people, including professionals, have been reluctant to use the computer.

Another great limitation is on-screen presentations. In teaching the colors, graphics and images are of vital importance and it is difficult to obtain real images by computer.

Both limitations can be overcome using the concept keyboard. The surface of this keyboard is flat. Therefore, it has no keyboard and instead of having characters it consists of images. These images are represented on some cards that are placed on the keyboard and are different for each program.

Thus, by using an anatomy teaching program, without entering the name of the part of the body that you want to see on the screen, you just need to click on the conceptual keyboard the image of that part of the body.

This keyboard is a new system and, in addition to comfortable, it can cause those who do not know anything about computer lose the fear of the computer.
