Typically I think I am an “original content” kinda guy* but this one is just too cool and I have to share.
What you should see is a scientist from New York demonstrating a next step in computer user interface. If you’ve seen The Matrix or Minority Report you know to what I refer.
Abby? Someday when you are in say…10th grade and doing your classwork on this thing I want to come in for Daddy-Daughter-Digital-Day and you can show me how to make this sucker hum allright?!

* Take notice that I didn’t say ‘quality content’ or even ‘worthwhile content’, those are like beauty, in the eye of the bholder [sic]. But usually anyway it is MY content.

That is very cool. I’ll leave it to greater minds to define where such a technology goes from here, but man oh man what a toy! Love the idea of typing directly on the screen without need for a keyboard.
Gotta love youtube 🙂

That is truly cool! Hopefully they have or will develop a screen that repels oils so you don’t have to clean the fingerprints all of the time.

Back in the late ’90s Don Hubbard remarked to us how ridiculous the current computing platform and UI was. Why do we need this box under our desk or this keyboard, mouse or monitor. At the time (I am not sure of the correct term for these) personal eye-glass monitors where hot new technology. Here is an example http://www.microopticalcorp.com/Applications/consumer.html. I wonder why that technology cooled off. I think Don and Lief would agree that the computing world has UI methods in a choke hold, why do I have a keyboard on my Treo 600. Palm could have doubled the screen size and given me an on screen keyboard. It already has a touch screen. Who is going to break the keyboard, monitor chokehold?
To consider our dependence on it, I wonder what percentage of the average computer interaction uses a keyboard for character typing. That is typing my name “Brad” counts; typing ctrl-c to copy something does not.
