  It's curious how a usage of something can transform over time. Just like the tailbone or even the appendix, many things have survived from the past that have lost all reasons to survive. Yet they are doing survive, clueless dinosaurs from a past age which have adapted themselves to newer uses, being a croc or a lizard in the act. The lanyard, that curious piece of string that pops up in all places and comes attached with all kinds of things, is one remnant of a past age.
  
  It's unclear as to if the first lanyard came up. And for what purpose. Being fundamentally a bit of string it might have found some useful business in a previous day. Nor could it be said with any conviction that its primary and first use were defined in the military camps of pre-modern Europe. Odds are versions of lanyard were used in other places for other purposes for holding sword, or a coat, or pulling at the beard of the hard taskmaster. However, as the creator of this ubiquitous piece of string company statements comes from the military and the navy only. The lanyard was originally a long bit of wire around one-meter in length that was used to secure the jack-knife or the sword. The tradition developed of wearing the lanyard on the left shoulder attached to a jack-knife which was tucked in to the left breast-pocket. Along with and the position (left shoulder or right) have improved from this to that but the lanyard has maintained its decorative position around the breasts of military men going back several centuries from tin-pot dictators in the interiors of Africa to stocky four-star Generals in US Army, from exaggerated royal princes in interesting clothes to artificial presidents in Amazon jungles. Other sources maintain that the lanyard was initially used to link the fodder for the horses pulling the cannons. Later, its use deviated to taking the fire-trigger around the artillery, an use that remains to this day in a few older systems. With its expertise with ropes and knots, the navy claims the lanyard was its creation. Curiously, in the navy also it ended up at the same place sort of collar for the neck for the men in uniform. Should you need to learn more on analysis, there are many online resources you should investigate. Different uses of the lanyard were devised with-in the camps. Some used it to connect their sabers for their arms permitting them to fire the pistol with-the same hand the term dragoon, French in origin, derives from this application. This influential like i said encyclopedia has endless tasteful cautions for the reason for this enterprise. Afterwards when guns became standard issue, the gun was connected to the uniform using the lanyard. Every where we discover that the lanyard remained close to the primary object of the job of the men in uniform.
  
  Times have changed. The adage that sounded hollow many years back that the pen is mightier than the sword has fought back in favor of the wielder of mental resources. Today, the lanyard sometimes appears more in the company of civilians than in the company of the men in uniform. The lanyard comes mounted on the blade, the flashlight, the pencil, the banner, the whistle and what not. Sets from mobile phones to iPods and digi-cams get the hallowed business of the lanyard, as customer products get more miniaturized. It's a sign of the changing times that one of the most empowering devices cameras) and (devices are actually associated with something that was equally the partner of symbols of power recently guns) and (swords.
  
  To not be put aside, the metaphor of empowerment is sought by charitable causes. MakePovertyHistory, the global campaign to finish extreme poverty around the world, has chosen as symbolic of sympathy the lanyard with all the just cause of liberation from oppression. Whilst the official web site itself adds: By encouraging Make Poverty History we are able to prove our role as liberators but not in a way that's unpleasant and boring but exciting and new!. The lanyard can take the keys to freedom and it also doubles as a cellular phone holder!. There you own it power from the humblest of places.
