I won’t argue with your lived experience but this would make you an extreme outlier.
About 20 years ago, every teenager in the world who had a mobile phone was able to select a contact from their phonebook and type an entire message and send, in class with their phone in their pocket.
This is possible because of physical buttons and a deterministic user interface.
The same applies to cars and other control interfaces.
- doug_durham 1y agoAs I said I have two cars from two manufacturers. They have wildly different button layouts. Your example is a teen ager with a "single phone". In my case I have to resist the urge to read the tiny text on the physical button to know what I need to do. I avoid spending enough time in my car to learn the physical layout.
- hamdingers 1y agoSimply having two cars they switch between regularly makes them an extreme outlier.
- doug_durham 1y agoMost American families have more than one car. It is the norm, not an "extreme outlier".
- hamdingers 1y agoIt's important to read all the words in a comment before responding to it. Most families own more than one car, but usually each adult has their own, they don't switch regularly.
