I agree with the masses here. Mice and keyboards are remarkably efficient devices.
I try to imagine operating my microwave with a Wiimote, running photoshop with a multitouch screen (what, fingers aren't transparent? who knew?), or using voice commands for practically anything. They are all novel technologies, and all are finding their niche uses, which is great. But I seriously doubt any of these will replace the doorknob on my house, whose behavior is almost universally understood, requires no electricity, and operates more efficiently than any alternatives. And similarly, I find it hard to imagine that any of them will allow me to enter this comment as efficiently as my keyboard and mouse. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
