I was thinking about it -- humans don't do visual multitasking -- the system isn't high throughput enough. Compare it to our sense of sound which can register differences in thousands of hertz, our visual system is 30ish hertz.

What this effectively means is that while we can use multiple fingers for doing things locally, it will always come down to us focusing on a single point. If you watch the video, all actions ultimately come down to a single finger clicking a single point, ie a mouse.

I do think that it might speed up operating system use to some degree, but I do not think it will affect most of our input (from the keyboard)...
