Direct Neural Interface. It's a concept that's been used in Cyberpunk
style fiction since the early 80's.
Too bad it would be so potentially dangerous... (Would *you* want
anything that could crash hooked directly to your brain?)
But... I'd live to have an indirect connection, much like the ones in
Gibson's "Neuromancer"...
But we're a long way off from that... Closest we have is a mouse control
using brainwaves (not easy, nor accurate, but it kinda worked...) done
by some university in Florida.
Then you have wearables, which IMnsHO are under rated devices. And it
really amazes me to see people wanting to use Windows on
them... especially since they are severely underpowered systems compared
to desktops. Linux would be ideal for these as you can use IBM's
ViaVoice and Emacspeak and it runs much more efficiently and with fewer
crashes.
...but alas, no major developments noy lower prices in old ones have
come out in the last few years...
