       Frustrated, pressured typists would get even more frustrated and stressed. Maybe, still have the shift key as a safety valve.   

       It would generate more complex key button sensors and large datasets which may lead to polygraph keyboards on employees or lovers.

       This may not be a terrible idea. When I type normally, I just type. I think a smart key could correctly recognise an intentional upward swipe, for instance. Just turn every key into a tiny trackpad, and you could have multiple options (swipe up for capitals, down for alternate or accented characters, etc).   

       On the other hand, it's a lot simpler to have one additional key on an 80-key keyboard, than to have 80 more complex keys. So maybe it's a terrible idea.

       Just have a learning algorithm crunch everything you a have ever typed, written, said, spoken out aloud from dreams and it will finish the sentence for you, capitals and all.   

       Begs the question whether a person can say something completely new, a leap from the surface of their own conscious constructed ocean?
