Fuck Touchscreens. in The Napkin.

I almost want to relearn Dvorak to affirm how much I despise touchscreens.

Don’t get me wrong, touchscreens have their place. It’s a useful technology. But uh, I text with my nails. And I type with all ten fingers without looking at the fucking keyboard. I think it’s because touchscreens cost most. Sell a consumer an efficient, reliable product?

Fuck that.

Sell them something unreliable, harder to use, and costs more. It’s about the fucking benjamins.

Ugh.

Even my blackberry has a touchscreen. I appreciate (the touchscreen) for what it is, but man, I adore the qwerty keyboard.

And fucking computers? I’ve built my last two rigs. I can’t fathom doing anything on a touchscreen. I can type over 100 wpm on a good day. And I’m not the kind of person who could get by with integrated graphics. You can’t play Everquest two on your fucking tablet.

It really isn’t a punchline that I wrote this entry on my phone. Because my blackberry has a fucking physical qwerty.

I tried to hold onto qwerty in cellphones as long as I possibly could. My last phone was a Droid 4. Decided to get a 6" slab now because the keyboard options are too totally neglected.

I can touch-type too. I don't know what I'd do if I couldn't. Give me keyboards, or give me death.

oh thank god. i thought i was the only one who couldn't stand them. i don't have one of those phones and that's one reason why. my problem w/ touch screens is they're too sensitive. like i have one on my computer [which has the internet activated on it unlike my phone].
