Death of the Button? Analog vs. Digital
mattnyc99 writes "Instapundit's Glenn Reynolds is sick of navigating menus to turn up the heat—while he's trying to drive. His take in the article (as well as a a no-holds-barred podcast) is that modern tech product designers should get back to analog controls before iPhone users get sick of looking down at their touchscreen everytime they dial without a dial. It may be up to you: Whither dangerous auto technology, or long live the touchscreen?"
Seriously. The guy is a disturbed political nut job on par with Ann Coulter and knows nothing about technolgy other than he has a blog which only he's allowed to post on and pretty much nobody reads. This idiot was and still is a huge War Supporter. Frankly most people are sick of Glenn Reynolds, the Right Wing's Ward Churchill.
I had a friend who was too cheap buy a brand new car with a warranty so he had a string of clunkers. One clunker had an electronic dashboard that was cool as long as he was not driving faster than 50MPH. The dashboard just shuts down. Nothing like speeding down the highway when you don't even know how fast you're going. I'm surprised he never got a speeding ticket in that death trap.
