The end of an era

A Little Intro:

The reign of the keyboard and mouse is slowly coming to an end. I mean we may not see it right now, but gradually technology is moving away from the point and click system and going into a more intuitive system. The way we use computers has remained largely unchanged for nearly 40 years. Even with the advent of touch screens and tablets in the past 10 years, we have only experienced a slight modification of the familiar point-and-click paradigm. Hoewever this will change very soon, we are currently going through the most significant evolution in the way we work with computers since Steve Jobs launched the Macintosh in 1984.

I will be rasing just a few interface revolution just to support my theory:

• touch and mulitiple touch
• gesture control
• voice
• HUD
• wearable computers
• holographic displays
• bain machine interfaces

The above points that I have rasied are both from protoypes which you see at science exhibitions and actual devices which are currently being made, so keep your eyes peeled!!
