It’s crazy how the authour keeps shutting on the phone, being like “wow we’ve learned so much since then”, but physical keyboards were the fucking best.

Touchscreen keyboards are super error prone and you need to physically look at it as you type. It used to be the case that you could write and send messages without needing to look at your phone at all. Under your desk while you kept eye contact and a verbal discussion with your teacher and they wouldn’t even know.

They can break tho

I’m sure you know someone with a phone like this right now.

Physical keyboards can break much easier, also if you speak more than one language they are impractical.
I have broken way more screens than I have physical keyboards. I have found that when using the typical alphabet the keyboard was just fine for Tagalog and Spanish. I could see it being an issue if you spoke Ukrainian or something with a different set of characters.
