Voice recognition,except for those unable to use their hands,remains a slower,less- productive input technology. I recently went on an odyssey(冒险旅行)in search of the perfect input device,tired of the wear and tear on my body that my current setup was causing.I was periodically pinching nerves on the same side of my neck as the arm I used to reach for my ergonomic mouse.The pain would last only a day or two,but it was a warning. Computer mice cause the most computer injuries,says Deborah Quilter,author of The Repetitive Strain Injury Recovery Book.From having previously tested out different mice and trackballs,I concluded it wasn't my mouse itself that was causing me problems but my repetitively reaching for it. So I hunted around for keyboards with built-in pointing devices,which would let me keep my arms close to my body,and for other ways to heal myself.The good news is that I believe I've succeeded,even though I didn't find the perfect solution.The bad news is that my solution may not work for you.Though we all share much of our physiology,we're all different as well.On the other hand,perhaps one of the products I looked at that didn't work for me will work for you. Perfection could be had by finding a company to design a single keyboard to my exact specifications.No such luck.DS International of Glendale,Ariz.,requires a minimum order of 500 keyboards,with development costs typically ranging from $50,000 to $75,000 per project and manufacturing costs added to this. Whatever your hardware,reducing the use of your pointing device-mouse or otherwise-can help.What's more,despite the ergonomics(人体工程学)of pointing devices built into keyboards,you can't move around as quickly with them as you can with a separate mouse. Keyboard shortcuts are one solution,though they require you to memorize them.At the most basic,for instance,pressing the Control and S keys saves a file,preventing you from having to move the mouse pointer to the File menu and select Save. Questions 1-5 1.How does the author look at voice recognition? 2.Why did the author look for the perfect input device? 3.According to the author,what actually caused the computer injuries? 4.What kind of keyboards did the author find to solve the problem that a computer mouse causes? 889
