HCI Issues
Why is it that the two most common computer input input devices, the keyboard and mouse, are probably the least effcient? I've been working with trying to integrate a card reader into the Helpdesk's workflow, and its proving difficult to program for, as everything in the world of GUI development assumes you are using a keyboard for all text input. So far my only working idea is to measure the number of characters input per second, and hope that no one can type as fast as the reader dumps data.
