CAPTCHA

Have you ever wondered why you have to rewrite words to prove you are not a robot? This is why....

It is a system called CAPTCHA.  It has two jobs. The first job is to save all the really old books. Some books that are handwritten are really old. To save these books they are scanning them into computers, but because they are all handwritten the computer can't understand them to process them. So when you write out a word you are also rewriting an old book. There are about 200 million sold every day. It also protects your blogs and other sites for robots scamming your computer/sites.
