New interface technology for the future

Touch Screen? Nah, They get dirty and require arms waving about. Also, you can
not see through your hands.

Motion? Nah, sometimes you want to be 100% sure you pressed the right button.
When that button is actually a hand movement that isn't possible. It leads to
frustration and annoyance. Plus you have to wave your arms about. No one wants
to do that in a office all day.

Mind? Nah, it may have some uses, but essentially it is just like speach recognition
software, but you don't need to talk. People don't use speach recognition as much
as keybords because it is not even close to 100% accurate, requires training, is
fustrating when it* gets it wrong and it requires a lot of concentratrion
*'It' getting it wrong is so much more infuriateing than you getting it wrong from
bad typeing.

So, what is the alternative?

Keybord and Mouse? Yah! Requires minimal concentration and
movement, easy to use, it never gets it wrong unless you do, it doesn't interfere
with what your doing and it is cheep.

They will be around for a long time yet.
