Gartner Predicts Mouse Death
Analysts from Gartner , remembering that in 2008, the coordinate graphic manipulator (just a mouse in use) turns 40, decided to mark this event in a somewhat strange way. Predicting the imminent disappearance of the tail device from our desktops. Gartner believes that within 3-5 years the mouse will be completely ousted from the everyday use of PC users by new input devices.
Replaced the mouse, allegedly, will come computer mechanisms for recognizing gestures and facial expressions, as well as touch screens. The forecast seems to be made not from scratch: expert Steve Prentice (Steve Prentice) justifies him by observing changes in user interfaces, such as televisions that can recognize gestures and the capabilities of cameras that capture the position of a person’s face.
At the same time, Logitech representatives strongly disagree with Gartner. According to Logitech Vice President Rory Dooley, the most convenient manipulator in the world will never (!) Be able to replace any new interaction devices. "Devices that ultimately change our lives will not reduce the value and convenience of the mouse," Dooley notes.

Personally, it seems to me that Gartner was really in a hurry with the forecasts. Despite the attempts of some companies (take at least Microsoft) to popularize new interaction interfaces, the mouse still remains one of the most convenient and, let alone, familiar controls.
