But to that point, how many professional transcriptionists or programmers are using a touchscreen keyboard to do professional work now? Have we all switched over to touchscreen keyboards on our laptops yet? Your mistake here is confusing a consumer device with something designed for a professional workflow. Touch screen keyboards are, objectively, not faster to type on than a physical QWERTY keyboard. It's like arguing that because my mom got used to a using a cellphone for photography that physical lenses are obsolete. Again, this is (in my mind) something that mostly only happens in the software industry. A professional racer drives with a manual transmission. When automatic transmissions came out, nobody argued that professional racers were holding back the auto-industry. Meanwhile in the software industry, mention that your workflow benefits from corded headphones, and suddenly you're jeopardizing the future of progress.
