It's curious how the utilization of some thing can change with time. Like the tailbone or the appendix, a lot of things have survived from yesteryear that have lost all factors to survive. Yet they do survive, confused dinosaurs from a previous age which have adapted themselves to newer uses, becoming a croc or perhaps a lizard along the way. 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 is uncertain regarding if the first lanyard came out. And for what purpose. Being fundamentally a bit of string it might have discovered some of use business in a previous day. Nor would it be said with any confidence that its first use and main were defined in the army camps of pre-modern Europe. It is likely that variants of lanyard were utilized in other lands for other reasons for hanging blade, or a coat, or pulling at the beard of a tough taskmaster. However, organization claims as the creator with this ubiquitous piece of string comes from the navy and the military only. The lanyard was originally a long piece of wire around one meter in total that was used to secure the jack-knife or the sword. The tradition developed of wearing the lanyard on the left shoulder attached with a jack-knife that has been tucked to the left breast-pocket. The colour and the position (left shoulder or right) have changed from this to that however the lanyard has preserved its attractive position on the breasts of military men the past several centuries from tin-pot dictators in the interiors of Africa to stocky four-star Generals in US Army, from exaggerated royal princes in funny clothes to phony 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 on the artillery, a use that continues even today in certain older systems. With its expertise with ropes and knots, the navy claims the lanyard was its invention. Remarkably, in the navy too it finished up at the same place a kind of collar for the neck for the men in uniform. Different uses of the lanyard were developed within the camps. Some used their sabers to be tied by it for their wrists allowing them to fire the gun with exactly the same hand the word dragoon, French in origin, derives using this application. Later on when pistols became standard issue, the gun was attached to the standard with the lanyard. Everywhere we find that the lanyard remained near to the main subject of the occupation 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 intellectual resources. Today, the lanyard is seen more in the company of civilians than in the company of the men in uniform. The lanyard comes attached with the blade, the torch, the pen, the badge, the whistle and what maybe not. As client devices get more miniaturized, sets from cell phones to iPods and digicams get the hallowed organization of the lanyard. It is an indication of the changing times that probably the most empowering devices (devices and cameras) are now related to anything that was similarly the companion of symbols of empowerment yesterday (swords and guns). 

To not be left out, the metaphor of empowerment is wanted by charitable causes. MakePovertyHistory, the global campaign to finish extreme poverty all over the world, has chosen the simple lanyard as symbolic of sympathy with the only reason behind liberation from oppression. While the official internet site it self adds: By encouraging Make Poverty History we are able to show our part as liberators but not in a way that's painful and dull but interesting and new!. The lanyard can hold the keys to freedom and it also doubles as a cellular phone holder!. There you have it power from the humblest of options.
