yeah, I’m using the screen keyboard on my iPad right now. Actually, I just dictated most of this particular response. Once again, you haven’t used the futuristic solution so saying that you must use a keyboard seems a little premature. if you’re walking around with a pair of Google glasses, you don’t have a keyboard there.

Saying and implying there's going to be a popular futuristic solution is premature as well. Keyboard has been around a LONG time. We're past the halfway point to the age of the Jetson's and we still have them.

  Horses were around for thousands of years. Henry Ford said people would just wanted a faster horse. Most people lack imagination.

    Axes have been around a lot longer and they're still being used even now with chainsaws. Some people seem to thing everything always needs to change.

      And people still ride horses. So, what you’re saying is that we don’t need chainsaws because axes are just as effective?

        It isn't unreasonable at all to think that keyboards will continue to be one of, if not the most, efficient ways to use a computer.

> so saying that you must use a keyboard seems a little premature What part of "I for one much prefer a physical keyboard" implies "you must use a keyboard" ? I expressed a personal preference, that's all. I don't expect my preference to change, but sure, anything is technically possible though unlikely.

  The part where you say to prefer a keyboard to some futuristic solution that doesn’t yet exist. You can’t have an opinion about something that doesn’t yet exist. Before someone dreamed up the automobile, you would we telling us how you prefer the horse, perhaps just make it faster.

    > You can’t have an opinion about something that doesn’t yet exist. Well, exactly. And if it seems like I expressed that kind of opinion, I apologize, I did not intend to. I'll certainly try the new things. > you would we telling us how you prefer the horse, perhaps just make it faster. It seems like you know me well, certainly better than I know myself.
