The simplicity of it is logic defying. It used to be that you had to find crosswalks or move puzzle pieces or type blurred letters and numbers, but NOW all the sudden I can just click a box and HEY!, I'm human?

That's hardly the Turing Test I'd expected.

I mean, how do you think websites work? Of course your mouse and keyboard events are available, otherwise you wouldn't be able to interact with a website at all.

This was the slap on the head I needed. I now get what you mean by interact with my keyboard. In other words = can tell what I'm typing. Like perfectly normal function of websites.

I didn't understand the "focus" part and how it helped. I think I said earlier, I'm not particularly smart.
