Touch screens are good for some games and things like scrolling a page up and down, but terrible for productivity and text entry. My last phone with a physical keyboard was the last time I felt productive on a mobile device. Instead of creating anything on mobile the platform is about making people into just content consumers. Even with games, a handheld console with real buttons is superior for gaming in general but the touch screen works better for (and even enables) certain types of games. I'm not sure if training kids to stare at screens all day a year or two earlier than they otherwise could is a pro or a con.
