Surface computing
Popular Mechanics continues to morph into "Popular Technology" with this clip on multi-touch interfaces and Microsoft's "surface computing" machines, which are scheduled to roll out later this year.
tBill Gates was on the Today Show demonstrating the MS system a couple of weeks ago. You can see that video at Gizmodo.
I remember an early version of "touch computing" when Control Data installed a Cyber system at UIUC in the late 70s. As part of the roll-out, CDC installed several terminals on campus that featured touch interfaces -- and folks complained about gorilla arm.
