Not all programs are designed to be used my grandmas or chimpanzees. By this logic, why don't we all use one-button keyboards?

- wonderzombie 13y agoBecause it's all about trade-offs, and a one-button keyboard is a ridiculous trade-off.
- calinet6 13y agoWe do. The iPhone and iPad have a single physical button. This forces the OS to have a flexible, on-screen keyboard which changes state depending on context and utility, effectively advancing the state of text input. On top of that, most phones now have excellent voice input, so you can skip the keyboard altogether. All of this because we made devices without keyboards at all. Necessity is the mother of invention.
