| Well, if we all had more digits, then all the instruments (and this keyboard I'm typing on) would probably have been designed to do more things... and they we'd be right back wishing we'd had even more fingers.
I'm happy with what I have and that they work even as well as they do.
The only real development that will be worth it will be when we can seamlessly translate our mental music into audible music.
Of course then no number of fingers can save us... our only excuse for bad musicianship will be lack of taste. (oh God... )
