I hope some day there will be reliable EMT-devices, i.e.
"Eye Movement Trackers".  Why use my hands -- or feet --
to move a "pointer" over something I'm already looking at?
(Of course, such a EMT-device had to work from remote, I
don't want to wear special hardware on my head.)  Then
throw in speech recognition and we would have really new,
cool ways to interact with a computer ...
