Bingo! Direct mind to machine interface.

Think about what could be done if they could project a "hologram" directly to your "minds eye". Bypassing the eyes, the optic nerves, etc.

Think about what worlds that would open for aged, handicapped, blind, and disabled people! Think about how "fast" and "smooth" you could suck words in.

Dangerous stuff there, but ohhhh so tempting.

The future should belong to heads-up displays projected onto the eye. The more distant future should belong to some type of more direct bioelectric interface (visual stimulation or essentially telepathy).
