Steve Jobs' vision when he revealed the iPhone in 2007 was to completely eliminate the need for physical and inter-conflicting components by universally digitizing the user's means of usage, thus giving every software developer the freedom to design their software to be operable within the absolute accordance of the said developer.
>B-but muh typing Have any of you actually used the swipe feature that's included within Google Keyboard? It's much more convenient and quicker than typing with a shitty physical keyboard.
>B-but muh mouse precision The human hand equipped with a fine-point stylus is much more precise than any mouse cursor can ever hope to be.
Face it, the keyboard and mouse are both outdated 80's technology that need not exist now thanks to the advent of the touchscreen.
Steve Jobs also had a vision that vegan diet and meditation would cure him.

>It's much more convenient and quicker than typing with a shitty physical keyboard. I disagree >The human hand equipped with a fine-point stylus is much more precise than any mouse cursor can ever hope to be. I disagree, tracking in 3D is far far easier with a mouse as well as faster because you are not having to physically move your arm around the entire screen. Could you imagine using a desktop sized monitor that was touchscreen and how tired your arm would eventually become?
Asher Watson
BTW when I say I disagree on the first point, I mean that you are not correct. Not that I think you're wrong; just that you're wrong.

>advent of the touchscreen
You know what your talking about. Not. the 1980s had a touch screen. When are you going to actually LEARN the history of computers. When?
stfu tripfag i don't agree with OP either but i don't agree with tripfags ever...idk what to do now...
Sebastian Murphy
>by universally digitizing the user's means of usage No, he was just shoveling his vision down other peoples throat, while he was not shoving it up their bum. It was someone elses work that brought the AHIG to the pinnacle of technology, only to be abandoned by Steven P Jobs. The ultimate interface will be MRI, and AR. reading hand gestures in space. That Jobs crapple, and swiping? Think 'Minority Report'
>Have any of you actually used the swipe feature that's included within Google Keyboard? Yes. It's the best input method for tiny devices, but it's total shit compared to a full size keyboard.
Colton Perez
>The human hand equipped with a fine-point stylus is much more precise than any mouse cursor can ever hope to be. Wrong. A half decent mouse can easily point at a single pixel. The tips of even the smallest capacitive styli cover plenty of pixels.
Aaron Perry
More ergonomic and faster input. Touchscreen and shit for now is just an emulation of the existing input. Unless someone invent new input method that is more effective, nothing is going to change.
Jose Sanchez
every time i remember this i fucking lose it.
Lucas Thompson
I think it means you need to become a tripcode user. I can help you out with some starter trips if you'd like.
Samuel Fisher
if this was true, apple would have touch screen keyboards on their macbooks the reason that can't happen is because its fucking tough to touchtype on a touch screen
Evan Brooks
Please stop being so wrong

Tactile sensation and hotkeys you fucking dip. No amount of training, practice, creative software workarounds or simulated feedback replaces this.
Call it monkey or lizard brained bullshit but almost everyone on the planet abhors there being no mechanical feedback or activation point- It feels loose and unintuitive to make gestures or wave your hands around loosely or to press a flat featureless surface to simulate pressing a button or key. Besides mobile games being dogshit anyway why do you think the number one bitch about mobile gaming is the controls? Why do you think no one does serious 3D rendering or media work on a fucking touchpad? You need a big nice list of easy to reach buttons that can be pressed in conjunction easily to give you near instant access to functions and features VS Touch and geture menus that overlap on screen or trying to press a pin point with your fucking fat finger or a stupid plastic stick.

>Have any of you actually used the swipe feature that's included within Google Keyboard? It's much more convenient and quicker than typing with a shitty physical keyboard. Though I disagree to begin with, it's only true if you're writing a natural language and the words you're typing are in your implementation's dictionary.
Also, if you really think so, then why did you write your post on a keyboard instead of swiping?

>1980s They've existed much longer than that. Of course, they sucked just as much, so it only reinforces your point.

>touching a screen with greasy fingies
no thank you
Sebastian Price
>Screen gets dirty >Have to constantly swipe your finger/hand across a massive monitor instead of moving mouse 1cm >less accurate because huge fingers >no physical keyboard feedback Yeah nah. Listen here and listen well cunt, go back to your shitty toy tablets and smartphones. There's a lot we will let slide, but not when fagmuffins like yourself try to ruin our input peripherals.
Owen Peterson
Because keyboards and mice are still the most efficient forms of input in most cases.
Aaron Miller
Because I don't want smudges all over my screen?
John Bailey
Na, you're free to improve on things but it actually has to be an improvement. Change for the sake of change isn't worthwhile. For some people, sure, something like swiftkey on their computer or tablet would be faster input than typing on a keyboard, but for a lot of people typing on a keyboard is still faster than using swipe input on a touch keyboard. Mouse is ironically still faster, and usually more accurate, than touch. So the fact is that right now touch loses in efficiency for a lot of general use than keyboard and mouse input. What it doesn't lose in is things like navigation menus, which is why you see touch screens at kiosks and the such.
Jace Bell
Touchscreen is horrendous and fucking cancerous
You're an idiot >durrhurrr why can't I use my smartphone everywhere instead of a device wit feedback that has multitude input that can be programmed Fucking zoomers need to shut the fuck up
Elijah Lee
I wonder if it *is* possible to "type" as quickly as you can on a physical keyboard with just gestures. Has anyone designed software for windows/linucks that emulates that feature for the touch screen or graphics tablets?
Mason Hernandez
apple magic trackpad doesnt have this problem
Nathaniel Brown
You made me come up with an eggcelent idea. A physical keyboard without keys, just a smooth surface and a glide keyboard. As a test-run just project the keys onto a graphics tablet.

And yet Tim Cook decided to release physical keyboard for iPad. Steve Jobs is crying in his grave.
1. Looking down for long periods of time is bad for you neck. 2. Mouse is inherently more precise because to move the cursor over some distance requires you to move the mouse over bigger distance. 3. You are a faggot.
Daniel Gonzalez
It gets better, some people doing code snooping in iOS betas have found possible indications that mouse support could be coming to iPads
Dominic Gray
If Steve Jobs tell you to jump off a bridge, would you do it?
Ian Cox
You know, the real sad thing is MS is doing some genuinely cool stuff. But the fact they are trying to have their cake and eat it by jewing everyone with subscriptions, putting ads in their system, invasive tracking and all that other BS just hurts it so much.
Gavin Jackson
The fucking dial is garbage. The UI around it constantly flickers around a few pixels because it can't fully determine the position of it.
Ryan Evans
>lacking tactile feedback When it has haptics that make it feel like I'm actually pushing something, we can talk. Until then, all the vibrates and click noises in the world won't actually trick me, and there will never be as literally ergonomically useful of a touchscreen until such is the case.
