Knowledge work is moving beyond keyboards and screens, one input at a time

The post argues that knowledge-work productivity is becoming less tied to the old “desk, screen, mouse, keyboard” setup.
Key points:
- More tasks may be doable through TV-style interfaces, game controllers, and voice rather than traditional keyboard-heavy workflows.
- The poster points to OpenAI’s keyboard as an example of new interaction design.
- They expect knowledge work to compress into fewer inputs and become a form of personal expression, with people choosing their own media formats, verbosity, and language.
- The closing claim is that online knowledge work may eventually feel like a video game.
