  One of the morning news shows (I forget which) had a spot on
an Atari game that used 'feedback' to control a cursor.  As you
can guess, not much information was given.  But the person doing
the stand-up had a metal band over his forehead that measured
"muscle tension".

  The game was a kind of "breakout" where you bounce a ball to
knock out sections of a wall.  The cursor was controlled through
the metal band -- relax it moves to the left; tense up and it goes
right.  Or so it appeared.

  Does this mean we can forget mouses, trakballs, etc.?
