Death of Input Devices

I subscribe to U Tech Tips, a view of education from international educators, hosted by Jeff Utecht.  I always find something useful from his weekly posts, but this one really resonated with me because I agree with Dennis Harter that keyboards are fast becoming a thing of the past.  in his provocative post, Death of Input Devices, according to a Pew Internet study, keyboards will be passe by 2012. 

Here’s why.  Take a look at the future that is already available in some countries.
Mrs. Meholic sent me a provocative email.  I am passing it along via my blog..  Amazing technology from Japan...but can you guess what this is?  [Interestingly, the original images have a file code that needed conversion with ZamZar and resizing with ShrinkPictures before they could be uploaded to our Salisbury21 blog.]

Look closely and guess what they could be…

Are they pens with cameras? 

Any wild guesses? No clue yet?
Ladies and gentlemen… congratulations!
You’ve just looked into the future… yep that’s right!

You’ve just seen something that will replace your PC in the near future.
Here is how it works:

In the revolution of miniature computers, scientists have made great developments with bluetooth technology…
This is the forthcoming computer you can carry within your pockets…
This “pen sort of instrument” produces both the monitor as well as the keyboard on any flat surfaces from where you can carry out functions you would normally do on your desktop computer.  As uncanny as it looks, you would actually be able to project on any flat surface and type on a similar flat surface--without a physical keyboard.  That’s what I’d call a conflation of virtual and real.  Are you wondering yet just how far away this technology is from the market?  Can anyone say, “Good-bye laptops!”
Although I am definitely a fan of emerging technologies, I am not sure I am quite ready for this new gadget.  I’d be happy just to figure out how to use all the options of the (relatively) new iPhone.  But then I remember David Warlick’s webinar and my favorite quotation from it: “Standing still in a time of change is like doing nothing at all.” Interesting times in which we live…

Perhaps even closer to virtual is Microsoft Surface, already available in limited markets.  A special thanks to Noah Sanders for providing the 2 YouTube videos hosted below.  The possibilities are endless.
