Touchscreen to the future

Wow! Just think what this touch-screen 'graphical user interface' thingy (picture right) will do for, well, just about everything you could wish to do on a computer. I can't wait to see CAD drawing programmes use this technology instead of all the mouse-wriggling and keyboard-jockeying we currently have to endure.

I urge you to go and visit the site, and to make sure you stay around to watch all of the demo video. When you consider how ubiquitous are the awfully awkward keyboard and mouse, you just know there's the smell of the future about it.

Just more prooof that when it comes to computers that it's really early days yet. We've only just begun! Wow!
