For the longest time I wondered why that guy from Ghost in the Shell had the fingers that each split into several tiny, blade-like fingers just so he could type faster; if you already have robot hands couldn't you send impulses directly to enter stuff into a computer?

I've always thought that was an air gap - if you lived in a world where your ghost could be hacked you wouldn't want to risk being plugged in just for some text input.
