I have no idea what would replace the mouse.
I can not see a touch screen replacing the mouse on a computer, that would
be a real nightmare particularly with screens getting larger and larger on
desktops. (LOLLOL)
Since I can not use a mouse I really do not care either. (ROFL)

Cy,
What do you think will replace the mouse, then? Completely back to the old
Hewlett-Packard Touchscreen?
Or perhaps an IPad device connected to, or built into the computer keyboard?

Yadiel,
If the mouse truly goes away there will be mass culture shock and millions
of people will be dumb struck. (LOLLOLLOL)

Yes, the mouse will go extinct in a couple of years. But is going to be
replaced by those dammed touch screens. I really hope that microsoft will
keep the keyboards and learn from apple on what to do with a touch screen
(who am I kidding, microsoft won't do anything like the sort when it comes
to touch screens, I mean narrator is as old as the sun and it still stinks).

I had a MicroSoft tech tell me that the mouse will be phased out in a few
years.

Hello Friends,
This is very interesting.
I have no such sighted friends, they all think it is a bit "Weird" that I
listen instead of using my eyes, but now remember Science Fiction is the
window to the future and with that in mind
Star Trek:
Captain Kirk:
"Computer"
"Computer Working"
"How long till we reach Vulcan"
"We shal reach Vulcan in 23 hours 12 minutes and 14 seconds"!"
LOL!
Yep, just around the cornner I am sure and keyboards will be a thing of the
past.
With Best Regards,

Hello list:
This just happened recently. I have a friend that used to taunt me because
since I have jaws on my computer I could just sit back and relax while jaws
spoke everything on the screen and he needed to read everything instead.
Well, that changed a couple of weeks ago. I told him about the demo of jaws
and guess what. He is sighted and yet he is using jaws everyday now on his
computer. He says, it is faster and cooler than just reading on his
computer. Also, he says that is is easier on his eyes. Also, he uses
eloquence. That is wierder still because 99.9999999% of all my sighted
collegues hate eloquence and prefer the real speak voices. Now he is almost
as fluent with jaws as I. He also has eloquence at a rate faster than mine.
I am telling you this because, when sighted peaple see how useful is jaws,
they want to try it out and when they do, they don't think that it is weird
at all.
Finally, don't get me started on what he thinks about the virtual ribbons.
He says (and again, remember that he is sighted) that that feature is a
messege from God itself.
