Yeah, I like the technology, but I don't think it's always better than a keyboard and mouse. We probably need a blended approach.

@GlassDog: same reasoning with Steve Jobs lol. He figured that it didn't make sense because your hands would hurt after a while, but using a mouse + keyboard is ergonomically better.

@rickfreeman15: I think in time we'll abandon both and go with eye-tracking and gesture. Although, I'd disagree slightly with Steve Jobs and say that the exercise of moving our arms about isn't necessarily a bad thing. Hurting isn't always bad, if the alternative is being entirely sedentary.

Not at all. They make the computer like $400 more expensive than they would normally be. And they're completely fucking useless. Why would I need to touch my computer screen? It's not a phone. I can just as easily click on stuff, which is faster, more convenient, and doesn't get fingerprints on my screen. Touchscreen computers are an example of an invention to solve a problem nobody had.

@rickfreeman15: Well that at least had a specific purpose. They did that so they could make more money. It was disguised as "progress" and moving away from the 3.5mm jack which is old but still works fine, but really, it was all about the money. Notice how Apple owns Beats, which are the only headphones that use a W1 chip to allow them to interface over wireless with an Apple device?

I wouldn't want a dirty screen. They're okay at checkout stations and ABMs.

@ForeverOnMyGuard: 😂😂 what terrible memories do you have involving touch screen computers? 😂😂
UndeadPrivateer · 31-35, M
No, they feel really clumsy to me.

@TryingtoLava: you get tired of touching the screen after a while and just go back to using the mouse because its easier
