How so?
It seems that you are proclaiming that touch would provide more flexibility at the expense of maximum speed and efficiency. I would actually say it is exactly the other way around: Touch killing the mouse makes about as much sense as airplanes killing helicopters. And you know what, I actually kind of prefer airplanes for most commercial flights just as I would say that touch interfaces are actually faster to use and easier to learn than mouse interfaces.
Of course, I often do need helicopter precision on my desktop... But yay for the iPad for casual gaming, websurfing and communicating.
- potatolicious 16y agoTouch is superior for a lot of use cases - but not all, not even close. It will continue to gain more widespread use, sometimes at the expense of traditionally mouse-driven devices, but the mouse is alive and well and isn't going anywhere anytime soon. The helicopters vs. airplanes thing is not a judgment on which is superior - you missed the point; the idea is that when helicopters came around, a lot of new possibilities opened up in flight, some of which were traditionally served by fixed-wings... but in the end both have their uses, and neither killed each other.
