Virtual Keyboard
Because of the shrinking size of technological gadgets, it's been difficult for us fat fingered humans to find and push the buttons. In some wilder moments I had considered that genetic engineering would enable us to shrink our fingertips to keep pace.
But now, here's a less messy solution. Beams of light, which detect the user's movements, make up a virtual keyboard which can be projected to a comfortable size.
If virtual keyboards and simple voice recognition became accessories, it would make wearable and pocket computers vastly more useful.
