good point. Same thing with telnet.

though this does not replace the current system, it is meant to extend it.
Yes, quite a number of local service providers like phone and cable companies here have been using voice activated help instead of touch tone keypads for over a year or two now, and their recognition capability is good (way better than I expected). I would say it'll take much less than 20 years for keyboards to be ... obsolete, not to say the mouse.labrocca said:Well so many use search engines now. I would think you could tell your computer a sentence on what you need and it might search the web. You could from that point tweak your search with another sentence to your puter. I just can't see typing being the main means of getting info into a computer in 20 years. Remember there wasn't a mouse on most computers 20 years ago either. Can you imagine your puter now without a mouse? In 20 years your kids might laugh at the old "keyboard" while they utilize a faster means to connect with their computer. This could very well effect the domaining industry which is really in it's infancy.

I think domains are here to stay.
