You all think it's normal to sit behind a laptop all day

A tech commentator argues that keyboard and mouse interfaces are unnatural for humans and predicts their obsolescence within 20 years, citing innovations like voice models, Neuralink, and Apple Vision as evidence of a shift toward keyboardless interaction. The author criticizes the industry's slow adoption of voice-first tools and warns that continued reliance on traditional input methods will be viewed as archaic.

The moment i saw the first llm, i knew the future of tech is keyboardless, actually i was trying to get there before gpt but failed. The fact that its 2026 and most of the industry doesn't see this is baffling to me. When both hardware and software giants are innovating in the same direction neuralink, apple vision, voice models...etc , You all think using a keyboard and a mouse all day is normal for primates - but it's completely unnatural it's killing us slowly, both physically & socially. Like it or not, evolution has a voice here & the spine is not made for this UI. Not to mention a device that isn't very mobile ends up isolating people no matter how much they tried, if you don't believe me through away your laptop for a month & see how much your patterns will change. We weren't made for this interface, no matter how much we much we got adjusted to it. Imagine if a species of birds had to stop flying for 100 years because of endless storms in a certain region that 100 year is not enough for evolution to remove the wings & strengthen legs; those birds have to eventually figure out a way to be able to fly again. Lucky for us we are smarter than birds, and we have already built something that might solve it voice models . In 20 years; if we are still using a keyboard & a mouse on a daily basis - it would be as awful as not getting to superintelligence. To me, someone who is not using tools like Wisprflow is more or less the same stubborn as someone who refuse to vibe code our of principle. I am not saying that the future of technology is %100 guaranteed to be voice-first, neuralink might be better idk. What I am %100 sure of is that we will not be using a keyboard & mouse as the input. The 3 generations that spent their entire life behind a PC in the 20/21st century will be viewed as some type of autistic heroes in the future.
