Ok, so it's been mentioned (on this list, I think) that
research has shown that moving to voice-operated interfaces
gets rid of wrist RSI, but causes voicebox RSI. Whatever you
use you wear out. What's the answer? "Today's random interface
uses...feet!"

Personally, I'm fond of the concept of dumping the keyboard
altogether, and replacing it with two five-button mice. :-)
