Analysts Suggest Keyboards and Mice Heading for Extinction

by Terrence O'Brien — Apr 9th 2010 at 6:30AM

If Gartner, a world wide known consulting company


on IT, is to be believed, we are nearing the end of the
keyboard and mouse age and entering one ruled by touch
screens. According to Gartner, 50-percent of all the
computers purchased between now and 2015 by children
currently 15 and younger will have touchscreens. The study
goes on to say that consumers and educational markets
will be the first big adopters of the technology, as older
workers and businesses will surely struggle to adopt such
a new and unfamiliar tool. Schools, however,
will embrace them, as they are a perfect medium for introducing young children, still
very much accustomed to pencils and crayons, to the digital world.
Sarah Perez from ReadWriteWeb, another consulting firm, is concerned with
what this change might mean. She argues that when we use mice and keyboards, the
computer is just a tool -- perhaps one integral to our daily lives, sure, but purely a means
to an end. A more intuitive way of interacting with a computer, touchscreens can be
made to replicate actions like turning the pages of a book or scribbling notes on a pad.
Perez worries that, one day, such screens will replace bookshelves filled with well-worn
children's tomes, crayons, coloring books and board games.

There is no denying that, to an extent, we will be replacing these beloved


childhood icons with their digital equivalents. But don't expect children to stop playing
with toys, or learning through the physical manipulation of objects. Humans are built to
appreciate tactile feedback, something that a touchscreen can't provide.
