What a load of crap. It has taken decades for the mouse to become as refined as it has. Now we have comfort, accuracy, wireless and multi buttoned devices that allow PRECISE control of any application.

It’s going to take a hell of a lot longer to refine any new technology and make it affordable enough for everyone to be able to use and implement.

Touch screens will never replace the mouse for one simple reason; comfort. How do you use a mouse? With your arm resting on the desk and the mouse under your palm. How do you use a touch screen? With your arm up in the air touching the screen. Which would you rather do for an hour or two?

Try it; Pretend that you have a touch screen and duplicate every mouse movement by using your finger on the screen. I’d be very surprised if you didn’t develope muscle fatigue after just one day.

As for voice recognition, controlling a computer purely by speaking is still a long way from being perfect, not to mention that it’s an impractical method to use in many situations (on a plane, in a library, in an office cubicle).

Skynet has deleted every person who has attempted to interface using the standard neck port.
