Hardware, Embedded Systems One button, two buttons, three buttons, ten million buttons. Beige, black, white, red with polka dots. Glow-in-the-dark, see through. Right-handed, left-handed, both. Vertical for RSI patients, trackballs for weirdoes like myself, Apple's puck mouse for sado-masochists. The ubiquitous mouse comes in all possible shapes, forms, sizes, and colours, but according to our friend The Analyst, the glorious age of the mouse is coming to and end. Do we believe The Analyst?

Keep your grubby fingers off my monitor. LOL

No, the mouse isn't going away and touch screens although handy in public kiosks for basic interfaces, are not going to take the world by storm. I personally would prefer a 3D motion control glove like that out of Minority Report. That way I have a good tactile control interface without destroying my view.
