Hah. Having been in the tech field for 30 years, I've loved watching so many companies over-engineer stuff to the point of being useless to humans. Maybe some of you remember the ever-shrinking keyboards, and thus laptops, of the early 2000s before they realized peoples' fingers were only so small and had to stop.
My truck has a touch screen, and I fucking hate it. Having spent some years in the automotive service industry, I totally understand why using a touchscreen is a big benefit to the reliability and easy repair of a vehicle. But wow it sucks to use. And I guess somebody in the auto industry is finally hearing that.
Gee, it's too bad someone can't come up with a textured touch screen which would combine the ease of a multi-function computer with an integrated display, and a good tactile feel for "buttons". Oh well. Guess we'll just have to wait...
