Transparent Digital Keyboard
When it comes to computer technology, thin is always in. It’s indisputable that the thinner, lighter, clearer, the better when dealing with the latest computer gadget. This keyboard is the epitome of the high standards expected of the technological version of the fashion industry. It’s based on image as well, that is, image recognition technology.

1. Hmmmm. No, I don't want one.
I find the tactile sensation of actually hitting a key to be valuable. I've tried this sort of keyboard before- certainly not this particular design, but something similar. I found I could barely type. I had to be exquisitely careful of where my fingers were hitting the keys because I couldn't judge exactly where my fingers were.

I think I'll keep my dirty old traditional keyboard. Interesting concept, though, in particular the ability to use fingerprint identification as a password. That could be very useful.

2. I do like all passwords as fingerprint feature
no more having to remember passwords.

3. that's a very strangely written article
It reads like it was written by someone for whom English is a second language. Or it's been fed through a translator. Very weird.

I prefer clicks when I type. Otherwise, this would be cool:
