How conscious is that really tho? I don’t think about how to type, I just think thoughts and they come out on the screen. It’s about as conscious as speaking.
Same for the mouse. I don’t think about the mouse consciously, I just look at an item on the screen and choose to interact. Like grabbing a glass of water with my hand.

The real world is also limited by inertia, which virtual interfaces are not if they bypass the hands entirely. We're a long way from developing really good brain-computer interfaces, but this finding means we have just a little less groundwork to lay.
