Minimalist design removes physical buttons in favor of touch screens. Then down the road "premium" versions of the device are sold with physical buttons as a premium feature.

Two examples are the more expensive Kindle having its page turn buttons and the new iPhone having a special button. I'm sure there are other examples. It won't be too long until a headphone jack is a premium feature.

For phones all touch screen is smart as it can be upgraded with software only. Cars etc it’s retarded.

Until the "touch" part of the screen breaks and you can't gain any kind of access to your phone because the only way to get access to your account is by getting a code texted to your phone. If only there were some way to access the phone without using the touch function of the screen.

This was an actual event that recently happened to me.

Something like that happened to one of my old phones. Hooked up and keyboard to get what I needed, then scrapped the phone.
