Time to rewatch Aliens 2 and The terminator series

The sensitivity to strength switch is just stunning.
Scalability, upgradeability is stunning.

Remember T9? that was so pre-touchscreen

Inventor of T9 comes up with new text input method. - The main itch in smaller devices.
Here is a feature list.

here is IBM's research on the same

Expanding:

The following factors make shape writing particularly powerful.

Efficiency: Rather than articulating one letter at a time (longhand), shape writing allows the user to write word level sokgraphs ­ a form of shorthand.

Human sensitivity to geometric patterns: A person’s ability to recognize, memorize and draw patterns is remarkable. Shape writing capitalizes on this remarkable human capability. Drawing patterns with a stylus is fluid, dexterous and fun.

Intelligent pattern recognition: ShapeWriter is "intelligent". The number of legitimate words (ranging from thousands to tens of thousands in a lexicon) is only a fraction of the number of all letter permutations (tens of millions). ShapeWriter takes advantage of the regularities of words formation and recognizes user's ink trace on keyboard with maximum flexibility and error tolerance. An intended word can still be recognized although irrelevant letters between intended letters are crossed or even if some of the letters in a word are missed in the stylus trace.

Ease of learning: Shape writing bridges initial ease of use with eventual high performance by embedding learning in use. In psychology terms, for initial ease of use, the user interface needs to be recognition-based – action by visual guidance. To reach high performance, however, the user interface should support recall-based skills. In shape writing, these two modes are gradually connected. One shifts from recognition to recall over time. The graphical keyboard serves as a visual map and a training wheel from careful visual tracing towards a fluid form of shorthand writing.

Ease of error correction: Underneath each word in ShapeWriter's text stream editor is a list of probable alternative words that can be selected with one additional pen stroke. One can also delete or insert words anywhere in the text stream editor.

Work put into f1

better with videos i say:

When onboard video technology was still in its infancy: Senna at monaco. Makes for a more immersive view of speed.
