Shout at your computer and it will listen



The days of the physical keyboard are numbered. This ancient device is being replaced by digital keyboards, rollup keyboards thin as a piece of paper and speech recognition technology. The future of typing is not better keyboards - it is no keyboards at all.

Hello surface computing, goodbye keyboards and monitors


Picture the cellphone of the future. It is merely the size of a coin and has no keyboard and no screen. But you won’t need a keyboard or screen because everything is projected onto the nearest surface (which could even be your hand). No more worrying about tiny screens or buttons you can only press with a pin.
