The benefits of “low tech” user interfaces
Reminds me of modern stoves. All of them have touch controls which means every time a friend of mine is presenting me their new kitchen, I have no idea how to use the stove. They always say &quot;No, no, it&#x27;s really easy to get used to&quot; but it&#x27;s still frustrating because the touch controls never bring any new features to the table. They are just knobs abstracted into separated buttons and sliders, of which the latter you are not quite sure if you should drag them or just point to the wanted value. With a physical knob, the intuition of the laws of physics tells you how the knob can be turned.<p>They are easier to clean for sure but I can&#x27;t believe the current &quot;click this, slide that&quot; UX is the best the manufacturers could come up with.
