It’s really an old thing to complain about the internet or even worse, to complain about the touch. However, some objects have become tactile when it is frankly of no interest. Worse still, it is sometimes less practical than before to the point of annoying us. If you agree with all the points in this article, it may be a sign that you are getting old.
1. Induction hobs that turn on by themselves
The touchscreen is practical for having several commands in the same space. So explain to me the interest of TOUCH INDUCTION PLATES?? It works half the time, it locks without being asked and above all, it moans as soon as you put something on it without turning it on. Give us back the embossed buttons please, it was much less boring.
2. Disgusting ATMs
Everything was fine when the ticket machines were all equipped with buttons on the sides. Yes I withdraw 20 bullets, no I don’t want a receipt, goodbye and have a nice day. With touch screens, you lose precious seconds pressing with disproportionate force on zero screens that bug your race. Besides, it’s even dirtier than before.
3. Buggy GPS in the car
What’s the point of creating touchscreen GPS if it’s so that the touchscreen doesn’t work? You take 10 minutes to type an address and you end up getting upset because it’s too small, you type one letter instead of the other and the keyboard is in ABCDE instead of AZERTY. And after that is surprised that we use Waze…
4. The e-reader that only needs two buttons
An e-reader is for reading books. All you need is one key to select and two keys to navigate the menu and turn the pages. Why sell touchscreen readers in this case? To sell them for more.
(In truth I abuse, it is practical)
5. The zero tablet where you have to sign to pick up your package
Even if the touch was already there before, the delivery men had at least the decency to offer us a stylus. For some time, there is no longer a stylus; you have to sign with your big finger directly on the null screen and your signature looks like nothing.
6. Your watch that gives you your number of steps
Already it is absolutely useless, it also had to be tactile? It’s obvious that we’re going to press it by mistake too, be a little smarter guys.
7. The screen of American fridges on which you can go on Twitter
Even if they are less popular in France than in the United States, fridges with a touch screen on them are becoming more democratic. To do what ? No one really knows. Surely to check that a thief is not going to steal the last chocolate mousse.
“I don’t know if this will work, I’m talking to my fucking fridge my mother confiscated all my electronic devices again”
8. Terminals for ordering at McDonald’s
No, it’s a joke, these terminals are a divine invention and no one has the right to take them away from us.
