Gerrit ImsiekeCan we agree that touch control instead of knobs is worse UX for often-used functionality?
Michael Sokolov@gimsieke touch screens have led a decades-long regression in user interface design. My current bugaboo: elevators lacking buttons and sometimes indeed any interior controls whatsoever. Once you're in you're committed. Who does this benefit?
@gimsieke but I conflated the pre-selection issue with the touchscreen issue. I mostly dislike the lack of physical buttons since the touchscreens don't know how many digits you are going to enter they have a built-in delay and can't be used in parallel by multiple people. The pre-selection feature also introduces a weird delay since you have to wait to find out which elevator to get in.
