Do you remember the movie with Tom Cruise - MINORITY REPORT - and the way they controlled the computer images? Take a look at the link below and tell me what you think...almost scary...

"Two to beam up, Mr. Scott". Everyone thought it was funny back in 1972. Now, most individuals have a pocket communicator, even if the phaser still has a little way to go.

A decline in proficiency at keyboard skills can now be confidently predicted. Is this a herald for the end of written language?

Then what happens when there's a power cut/outage/blackout?
