How can a group of well-educated, innovative and forward thinking people not be interested in some of this research? The computer keyboard is a soft side-step from typewriter to computing machine. The mouse is ok, but as one of many sufferers of a repetitive stress injury, it seems to have created more medical problems than it's solved. Gestures, air typing, and new forms of data entry should all be explored. We are nowhere near the end of discovering how to interact with data and computing machines, but just at the beginning. Our stationary machines became laptops, then laptops got smaller and mobile. What comes next is thanks to the researchers pushing the boundaries of technology. I, for one, would love a world of truly ubiquitous computing where I have options to interact with technology without a physical device at hand.
