I think we are going to look back on this as a dark age of human interfaces.

too much touch, not enough tactile

Will need to wait until the year 2375 for the next renaissance: https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/memoryalpha/images/5/54/...

iOS is bringing back tactility with the latest iPhones--Taptic Engine is pretty cool

I definitely disagree. I think we're at a great balancing point with touchscreen laptops, the keyboards aren't perfect but they get the job done, and the touchscreen augments that wonderfully. Phones are inherently limited by size, and while I miss physical keyboards, the flexibility of on-screen keyboards more than makes up for it.

tbh I don't really understand why that's needed... I still think milestone2 was best phone ever made control-wise. Great construction, solid keyboard... shame things like that are not made anymore
