    Have you used a volume knob, an ipod, bmw idrive or its clones? Spin dials still are the peak of ergonomic design…

    Removal of physical dials in cars is one really good example of progress in tech causing worse design for the sake of cost savings and aesthetics.

    • Yeah cars have been victim to a bunch of over modernizations, I’ll say that, otherwise though I’m generally just trying to say the mentality of “these kids can’t use a ____” is kind of nonsensical.

        Agreed 😅 I was only refuting the sub point about knobs, as thats a pet peeve of mine 😅
