> In general, I think we’re at a stage where interface that make more sense physically are still physical. For instance cars are completely electronically driven but we (still) have physically optimized controls. My oven is a computer, but I have nobs and buttons that click. My “smart” lights have rotating controls to adjust brightness, etc.
Unfortunately, we're already sliding in the wrong directionn even on those examples.
Many newer cars have huge touchscreens and relegate many controls to it that used to have dedicated tactile inputs. A lot of newer electric ranges put all the controls on a screen under the same glass surface as the cooktop. Many smart LEDs only have an app to control them.
