The keyboard and mouse must go. Their limited portability and versatility have been a primary obstacle in the abortive push towards truly mobile computing. Speech recognition software is a possible replacement, but progress on its development has been surprisingly sluggish. The complexity, ambiguity, and creative demands of human language make it particularly inaccessible to computer logic. Recent breakthroughs in brain-computer direct interfaces now bring this option within reach of present technologies. Most recently, Sega has joined forces with NeuroSky, a bio-sensor and signal processing firm, to produce a viable game using brain-computer direct interface.
