Those Weird People They Keep In The Water

After my Google Docs Rocks post a few days ago, I had a conversation with Donell Frank that led to her commenting:

Pretty soon we will have a contact lens and we will “see” our desktop, and we will have a chip the size of a rice grain injected into our fingers that allows us to pick up and move our files we see on our contact lens, like that thing on that one movie with Tom Cruise and those weird people they kept in the water that could see the future

We’re not there yet, but this is a step in the right direction.  Just ran across it on ma.tt mullenweg’s blog – pretty slick. I’m excited about it.

Wonder if Apple’s announcement is going to be similar…

    Not sure if it’s even real or just an idea. The website is http://10gui.com/.

    BTW Donell, I think chips the size of a rice grains may replace the keyboard. We’ll have them injected into all of our fingertips & joints. Wherever your thumb touches the finger will indicate what key your typing.

    We’ll also need some kind of built-in (injected) wi-fi or bluetooth so our fingers work as a universal keyboard no matter what computer, kiosk or other device we’re using. Should make the germaphobes happy.
