Those were something, weren’t they? I thought it was the coolest thing ever as a kid, just the absolute peak of technology.
And in hindsight… Yeah, it was a pretty comfortable way to play videos and music, wasn’t it? And the click wheel iPods even had a surprisingly decent selection of games.
While I’m here, whatever happened to those Kindle e-readers with the physical page turn buttons and keyboard? I kinda feel like they stopped selling those, but I feel like that was kind of preferable to a touch screen, too.
I guess just in general I don’t like touch screens and it’ll be a good day when they stop being integrated into things that don’t actually need them. I’m out here thinking that flip phones beat smartphones still
I, too, despise touch screens and refuse to use them unless they actually suit the device or I’m forced to.
Fuck touchscreen stoves! Fuck touchscreen stoves! Fuck touchscreen stoves! Fuck touchscreen stoves! Fuck touchscreen stoves!
That sentiment deserves repetition a bit more than five times.
Is there any fucking reason for a “touch screens for everything” consumer product mandate besides The Gospel of St. Steve Jobs?

I can see that. It fucking sucks, but I see it now.
The fact that cars are moving towards non-tactile touch screens as the ONLY way to interact with the stereo and climate controls makes me want to do fun legal things to an R&D lab.
