InfoBits - Adam - Peregrine Glove
This article is about a Canadian company who is making a glove that will eventually replace a computer mouse and keyboard. This glove is able to create keystrokes and mouse movements with tiny woven micro springs running up and down the fingers. It's also machine washable. Currently it is aimed at the gamer industry, but the owner hopes to go after all mouse users. Perhaps this technology could be used for other uses, like remote controlled units that go in places humans cannot, among other remote control possibilities.

That's awesome since using a mouse can be extremely strenuous on the wrist this will create a better method for using a mouse without all the strain on your wrist. Only problem I see with this innovation is that wearing a glove for that long while continuously moving your hand could make it really sweaty, but I guess that's why they made it machine washable. This innovation is just another example of simplifying computers to the point where mice and keyboards will no longer be required. Making future computer lighter, smaller, and more options compacted into a smaller case.
