retardramaHi, I'm new to Mastodon :D I'm considering to join a master degree in <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/HCI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#HCI</a> somewhere in Europe. I completed a Bachelor's in Computer Science and I wanted to do something more "AI resistant". Do you think this choice makes sense?

Mac BergAnother thing Apple did right was to decide not to put touch in their desktop OS. PC users (including me) have mocked Macs for not having a touchscreen, but Apple did the right thing. Touch has completely different requirements than keyb/mouse input. For instance, UI elements have to be gigantic for touch to work, meaning they will be horrendous to use with a keyb/mouse. Worst of both worlds. <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/Apple" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Apple</a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/UX" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#UX</a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/HCI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#HCI</a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/smartphones" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#smartphones</a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/computers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#computers</a>

Mac BergPretty much the *only* advantage finger-touch has in personal computing is convenience. The human finger is inexact, shaky, enormous and opaque. And touchscreens register on touch, so there's no hover etc. As far as convenience goes, the finger is hard to beat, but for advanced usage it is very much sub-par as a modality imo. <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/UX" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#UX</a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/HCI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#HCI</a>

Mac BergSmartphones have always bugged me, in that I abhor the usability of touchscreens, and especially small ones. I just found a pen that has a soft pillow on the other end that works on touch screens, so I used it as a stylus for a while. It was much better than finger touch. Now imagine if there was a smartphone OS made primarily for advanced stylus use (like old Windows Phone). I'd probably opt for that for every phone going forward. <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/smartphones" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#smartphones</a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/UX" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#UX</a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/HCI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#HCI</a>
