I was comparing it to a mouse rather than a keyboard. And also suggesting that being able to use a touchscreen but not a mouse isn't really the fault of the user when most consumer devices now are touch-based. But I'm not saying computers should go touchscreen only, just that it's probably time that a touchscreen is a standard feature on desktops and laptops. Microsoft Surface and Lenovo Yoga seem to be well liked by their users, yet there are very few desktop touchscreen monitors on the market. A touchscreen is just another input option, and you could continue to use your mouse and keyboard if you prefer. I certainly would stick to my kb/m - even if that makes me an old fuddy-duddy.
