- bediger4000 5mo agoTyping got harder when everyone adopted a "mobile first" strategy. It's very difficult to type on tiny smartphone keyboard apps. Copy-n-paste on a smartphone involves many steps more than highlight/ctrl-c/ctrl-v. Even on laptops, manufactures skip mouse buttons in favor of clicking ill-defined zones on a smooth track pad area. Whispering is the next step in depriving users of the ability to perform input.
