Human-Computer Interfaces From 2003 to 2012

Roland Piquepaille writes "My favorite forecaster, Gartner, is back with a new series of predictions about the way we'll interact with our computing devices. Here is the introduction. 'Human-computer interfaces will rapidly improve during the next decade. The wide availability of cheaper display technologies will be one of the most transformational events in the IT industry.' Not exactly a scoop, isn't? But wait, here is a real prediction. 'Computer screens will become ubiquitous in the everyday environment.' Ready for another prediction? 'Through 2012, more than 95 percent (by volume in gigabytes) of human-to-computer information input will remain keyboard- and mouse-based.' Check this column for a summary."

Don't you mean HUD(Heads up display)?

I also caught a chuckle out of the Robocop reference. For SciFi flicks with human-computer interfaces, their was recently this flick called the Matrix, maybe you heard of it :)

Newb, shut your pie whole. I have excellent karma because I post interestng, funny-assed shit. Bitter little fucks like you just wanna be like me. Just because you don't like something you think it's a troll. My god that's some egotistical, self-centered shit. What's even more funny, is that I'm able to get +5's on replies I make advocating that software and music piracy(for example) are things that aren't protected under any right or law real or imagined. I post things I believe in and fuck karma. Most people recognize this and moderate me up for my honesty. And next time you want to reply to me, log the fuck in.

*Sorry about the brutish reply, it's Friday, I'm tired, and I can't leave work for 2 hours.
