Maybe you’ll never watch a ten minute video you find here, but I’m telling you, this one is interesting, worth at least skipping around to see the highlights.
In the video, Jeff Han demonstrates what may be the computer interface of the future. It’s a huge leap past typing on a keyboard or using a mouse. The idea is a touch screen in which you can use all of your fingers to expand, contract, and arrange photos and maps (reminiscent of Minority Report), and create art as if you were molding clay. Once you see it, you’ll know how to use it, which is why he calls it “the interface-free interface”. And if you need to type, you can even pop up a virtual keyboard.
This won’t replace Office or Wordpress anytime soon. But it is a bigger step forward then the one from DOS text to the Mac graphical user interface.

That was really awesome. I have always had this grudge against computers, but that looks great. You can put that on my Christmas list.
