I think it would have to be some sort of pointing device, somewhat like a stylus for tablet PCs or PDAs. But it would be flexible; there must be some use for that, but I'm not sure what.
You know when you're trying to draw something freehand in some GUI drawing package or other, and the curve you were trying to draw comes out as a kind of jittery drunken approximation to something completely different?
Well, the "worm" is an excellent UI tool - you click (with your mouse) on this hideous excuse for a curve, and the "worm" automatically takes on the same shape; now you take the worm and straighten (or curve) it into the shape you were really wishing to achieve; and, voila, your drawing package has adapted the drawing as you desired.
