Mouse dominance won’t go away overnight, but soon it won’t be the only way, and after that my bet is that all things user interface are going to change quickly. Windows 7 will offer good support for touchscreen hardware, and take a look at early multitouch support on Firefox. Instead of just mouse events, web developers will have a whole bunch of new tools to work with, and obviously users will have all kinds of new games and interfaces– it’s exciting stuff, and multi-touch is certainly going to give your carpal tunnel syndrome a rest.
