　　Are you working on your typing skills to make you become a more efficient worker?That may be all for nothing as Intel believes that we will be able to manage our computers with our brains by 2020．

　　Intel and its research partners are studying how the brain acts when it thinks．For example, scientists have found that people's brains react in a similar way when they are asked to think of a bear．Through some equipment that can also find this sort of brain activity, Intel thinks that it will be able to read and translate this into an input system tanks to an implantable chip in the brain．

　　“We are trying to prove you can do interesting things with brain waves．”Intel research scientist Dean Pomerleau told Computerworld．“Eventually people may be willing to be more devoted to brain implants．”Even if thinking about a bear isn't enough to show that you want to copy something, Intel still thinks that there is a future in suing your brain instead of the keyboard．“If we can get to the point where we can find specific words, you could mentally type,”he added．“You could compose characters or words by thinking about letters flashing on the screen．”

　　While this may all sound impractical or even inconvenient for present time, Intel thinks that it's possible．

　　“I think human beings are very adaptive,”said Andrew Chien, vice president of research and director of future technologies research at the Intel Labs．“If you had told people 20 years ago that they would be carrying computers all the time, they would have said,‘I don't want that．’Now you can't get them to stop．There are a lot of things that have to be done first but I think implanting chips into human brains is possible．”

　　Make good use of your mouse and keyboard set-up before they're old-fashioned．
