@slowenough @jeff @DamonWakes @Newmy I'm gen Z and I grew up with physical controls. Touchscreens are only good on the computer

 @slowenough @ellenor2000 @Newmy I was originally just poking fun at "millennials" being used as if that generation were in its teens rather than its thirties, but the fact that older stereos/cars/ovens are still in use makes it unlikely that anyone - even the very young - would actually be confused by the existence of knobs and dials. From what I gather, touchscreens largely appeal to manufacturers because the UI can be localised more easily. I'm not sure users actually prefer them on cars etc. |
@ellenor2000 @DamonWakes @Newmy There are more and more cars with less and less knobs and such these days.
I know most gen Z have seen knobs. Maybe it's more about how we respond when we encounter an interface that's all screen. My generation (X) or boomers might be more likely to be annoyed or confused.
Figuring out physical interface, what's screen, and what's voice - and even moreso how those all work together - ought to be a fun UI challenge, but I don't see anyone having fun with it yet.
