I'm hooked on the idea of gloves which offer resistance as a method of bringing the virtual world to touch. (Example: grab a knob, you can't close the gloves past where the knob would be if it were real). Or heck, how about the dream making girl from Bladerunner and that huge dial.

There is still no input methods that beats touch typing in speed and accuracy. In my opinion the only serious contender is voice input but considering the time needed for corrections it is still not there.

When it comes to ease of use this is a completely different story though...
