interesting article about the “death” of the computer mouse

mouse’s dominance as the leading pointing devices may be over within 2 to 4 years

the author Mike Elgan point out that developments like

1. Apple’s giant trackpad with multi-touch.
2. Gaming pointing devices.
3. “Brain-reading” devices.
4. Apple iPhone and the “iPhone Killers.”

are changing our mouse habits.

good point (changes are sometimes hard to recognize)
I´m curious about the upcoming operating systems – of course

This code lets the Arduino read the TRANSPONDERSYSTEM RFID LESER 1 PLUS reader ( Conrad). Once connected and programmed, prints the tag number in the serial monitor window.

Hardware connections:

• Arduino RX (PIN0) to RFID TX (PIN4)
• Arduino TX (PIN1) to RFID RX (PIN5)
• Arduino GND to RFID GND (PIN6)
• Arduino 5V to RFID 5V (PIN1)
