    Being able to use your computer without a keyboard or mouse... Cool, I could freak out my roommate :) Even better if I could hook it up to her computer without her knowing :D Course...then she'd ask me to fix it...

    This would work better than todays voice control things to the computer.

    Computers typing on their own. This reminds me of an old Lockergnome newsletter from back in the day.

    I think it was Chris Pirillo who had a new system, and for some reason, it kept on typing out gibberish, with a few words mixed in. There was no apparent cause, and the system was tediously virus scanned.

    Then, someone realized something. There was a TV on in the background. the computer's voice recognition software was taking what it heard and was typing it out :D

    I would expect special operation forces and other same kind of units to start using this when this works well.
