Answer all alert boxes with a nod of the head. To cancel one would shake one's head.
All computer systems which halt with a two option question could be answered this way.
The hardware technology that could be employed to recognise such user responses and direct them exists, functionalty; it's
just a driver problem!

Stop shocking you, cancel or allow. You are shaking your head. Continuing shock. |

Continue watching highlights from
Wimbledon - yes/no? |

I love it. I think the mis-cues would be rare. I assume you'd have the ability to set the sensitivity the same way you do for your mouse. |

On Windows sytems the computer makes an alert sound with an alert box. This could be employed as a verbal prompt. "All those in favour of proceeding, nod now. Those against, shake. |

Tablet PCs can deal with a variety of pen flicks, so there's no reason the humble nod needs to be limited to yes-or-no questions. |

Enhancement to this idea. |
|
| |
Device plugs into keyboard port. |
|
| |
The windows alert sound modified to firstly send a tone then ask "say ok or cancel to proceed". |
|
| |
The tone activates the device which then listens for a verbal response and translates this into a keypress or macro. |
