Wireless input devices are huge now! I see many different types of mice, keyboards and web cams being used on a daily basis. It is funny to see how people get attached to their new found love of a wireless mice or a wireless keyboards. Wireless mice typically use infrared technology to manage your pointer will on the computer. It is a fabulous thing to have wireless devices because it does dramatically reduce the appearance of cords around your desk and office area. As long as you know how to sync and change batteries properly it really is more appealing to the eye to have.
Different types of keyboards and motion sensitive devices help reducing RSI- repetitive strain injury. RSI is the repetitive use of the same motion. For example, if you rest your wrist on the desk while waving your mouse around all day you are more likely to develop an uncomfortable condition. Some of the conditions include tendinitis, and Carpal Tunnel syndrome. Both of these conditions and lead to major problems that can affect your health and work load. New technology helps reduce these problems by allowing you to use the keyboard and mouse in a different way and/or allowing you to change how you use them on a daily basis. Also, there is new technology that lets you actually speak to your computer and your computer will actually take the commends and follow through. The computer can pick up on phonemes that we all have and can detect what words we are saying. Of course this program needs training but depending on the training it could answer simple questions or have expensive and intensive training to comprehend a huge vocabulary. The use of speech recognition in computers can be costly for the training and will need extra components such as USB headsets and microphones.

All of these information help me further my knowledge into the ever expanding use of technology. It is a pretty amazing industry. I have a feeling that, soon, with extensive training in computers we will start to see more robots around helping out in the work force.
