While touchscreens will likely supplant the
mouse, at least for the
mobile computing world (which is becoming the dominant expression of
information technology), speech recognition just isn't going to
replace keyboards, simply because it's a fundamentally different
means
of communication.
...which is why there are chalkboards, overhead projectors, etc. in
every classroom.
Ian, were you involved at all with the L&H stuff? It was actually
pretty decent for the time. Too bad it turned into a "pump and dump"
scheme by a couple of shysters.
