Microsoft: you won’t be using that Qwerty keyboard forever
Microsoft's chief envisioning officer Dave Coplin believes that the days of using a Qwerty keyboard to interact with computing devices are numbered.
In an interview with the UK's Evening Standard newspaper, Coplin stated that it was bizarre that today's workforce was still relying on technology invented in the 19th century.
Coplin mentioned the Qwerty keyboard as one of those technologies that is a "sub-optimal design".
If you thought that Coplin was referring to keyboards with different layouts, then you are wrong. Instead, he made the point that other input technologies such as voice or gestures would take over.
We’re looking at technologies now like voice and gesture recognition, and facial tracking that may make the keyboard redundant.
Mr. Coplin, who works on Microsoft's digital assistant Cortana, believes furthermore that computing will become a full body experience like in the 2002 movie Minority Report.
