"Why do we still use a keyboard and mouse to interact with digital information? This mode of human-computer interaction, invented more than 40 years ago, severely constrains our ability to access and interact naturally with digital content."

— Quote found at MIT Media Lab’s Fluid Interfaces Group website.  I am using the quote in my HorizonWatching Trend Report on Human Computer Interaction

"Touchscreens could be extinct if researchers pioneering new human-computer interfaces have anything to say about it. From brain-controlled machines to gesture-driven devices, there’s a range of technologies in development that may find their way into everyday electronic devices."

"Our sense of touch is currently an unexplored means of communication in the car. Having the steering wheel communicate with you through your fingertips provides more reliable navigation information to the driver. It has the potential of being a safer way of doing what’s already being done—delivering information that people are already getting with in-car GPS navigation systems."
