Re: Touchscreen based keyboard for laptop

I believe it is just a matter of time Chuck. Technology is evolving toward
that way, and since screens are becoming more and more the future of
technology, eventually this alternative options will become available.

What I really think is that we, input devices "thinkers", we should
concentrate our minds in developing better alternatives to this analogic
keyboard for data input. Everything they are doing is copying something old
to something new, and we Dvorak typists know in our own skin the price for
this decisions humanity takes and how difficult it is to convince someone to
take a step towards evolution when it requires him to "re-learn" something,
to face a learning curve. We are in the "border of evolution" in this
matters, and if we don't come up with something now, probably people will be
stuck with that same thing (like they are with qwerty).

My best regards,

Felipe
