“For starters, the sound. This thing is loud, which really makes me feel like I'm getting serious work done when typing.”

We’re all a bunch a little code monkeys. We can’t imagine programming without a keyboard, that’s why we’re still programming with keyboards.

Eventually, someone will invent the future, and we will all be happy and wonder why it didn’t happen sooner.




What would you program with other than a keyboard? Block diagrams are the only serious programming tool I know of that calls for a mouse to do most of the action and even then there is a good deal of keyboard work on the components themselves.


Brain computer interface, that gloves thing in Minority Report, contact lens monitor and virtual keyboard by monitoring your hands like in Rainbows End, lots of other stuff I'm sure. All you need is some interface between you and the operating system.


“Eventually, someone will invent the future...”

You’re doing that thing where you ask what exists that’s better.

With AR and VR, for example, we’ll need something other than a keyboard to interact with our computers. Hopefully, that’s the necessity that will be the mother of invention.
