You wind up getting good at the old right hand only commands and data entries. These days there are new technologies coming to the MDT segment with some very positive connotations like 2.5/3G service and wifi netting. These combined with video recognition software and automation like XB-60 mentioned, will most likely make our jobs easier and safer.
