I didn't RTFA but 5 years seems like a little too premature. Companies filled with non-technical computer users wont want to pay these employees to learn how to work with touch screens when they can operate just as well with a mouse and keyboard. Plus, like all new technology, the cost of replacing the current workstation with touch screens as opposed to the traditional station will be significantly more with little to no changes in the worker's efficiency. The cost-benefit analysis in this case just doesn't work out.
"Drunk driving is not a game, and it is not a joke. Drunk driving is a choice, a violent crime and it is also 100 percent preventable."
Now I haven't played GTA IV but I'm ready to bet that the game has more content about murder than drunk driving. I guess they're fine with people "joking" about shooting off people's limbs and evading police officers. C'mon MADD if you're going to rip on GTA at least find something a bit more sensible than a car moving with blurred vision... With that mentality then maybe WoW should remove the alcoholic beverages from their game cause it's encouraging the minors that play to drink... or even worse... drinking and flying... I sure hope pilots don't play WoW...
