Information-efficient systems: replacing typing?
As a friend of mine said, I'm probably late to the party on this, but have you heard of Dasher? It's a gesture-based typing system that, to me, appears like it really may be the next generation of human writing systems.

Dvorak keyboards improve speed and accuracy - and no one's using them. Stenography lets you take notes at breakneck speeds - and only a select few professionals learn and use it. Stenotype machines (like those used by court reporters) let you input hundreds of words per minute - is there a future in the mass market for those?
Unless most people can look at a basic input device and go, "ah, this is how you use this", it will be a niche product.
I think it needs some work.
