mulit-touch screens

This is not only cool, IMO it will revolutionise the way we interact with the PC. It will change the whole concept of computer being a screen, keyboard and a mouse. This will take us one step closer to the natural human-computer interaction.

I hope this will become commercially available soon and all the OS vendors support this device. Can you imagine the possibilities?

Instead of orgnising the files and folder in your HDD, you will stack them on like you do on your desk. In my case, that's not entirely a good thing, considering my desk is always covered in junk. If I lay the screen on the desktop, I can take a piece of virtual paper, write on it using my finger, open a folder and file it in, as I do in real life. Photo albums can be handled as you handle a real album. The possibilities are limitless...

Playing Star Craft on screen will be so much easier compared to clicking the mouse.
