Finger Buffer: Worries of a High tech Worker

I don't know if this ever happens to you, but it worries me a little.

Often when I am writing on the computer, I will select text, and press CTRL + C to copy the text.

This is OK, so far.

But then, if I don't paste that text right away (CTRL + V), it feels like whatever it was I copied is still in my hand somehow, maybe in my finger. If I walk away from my desk, it's a if I am taking that text with me, in some mysterious "finger buffer." My finger wants to paste the text, does not like having to hold this data for too long.

We are becoming androids, and we dream of electric ladies.
