Touch screen computers also don’t make sense ergonomically. There’s a lot more arm and hand movement on a touchscreen compared to even a mouse, so you’ll get tired quicker.

This is why fast food cashiers are passing out constantly. Moving your arms around is just too tiring.

The difference in ergonomics between sitting at a desk and reaching up vs. standing over a display and tapping down are quite different.

I see a lot of people online saying this kind of thing, though I gotta wonder if it’s mostly old people who can’t adapt new paradigms.

I would never buy a computer without touch anymore. The thing the ergonomics argument misses is just because you have touch doesn’t mean you can’t use a mouse (or touchpad) also when it makes more sense. Tiredness is never an issue for me.

There are some things that are just infinitely more natural with touch, using an electronic device that lacks touch just feels like using incredibly outdated technology to me now.
