Every story and comment from the Hacker News API, in a layout borrowed from 2001.
A comment on Honda bucks industry trend by removing touchscreen controls. Parent comment
BUT - touch screens can be used if people are trained, the layout is rational, the device is responsive.
There are two underlying things:
1) Tactile. As you spelled out.
2) Changing interfaces. This is the real killer. 100 screens, don't know what's what, supposed to be driving.
These UIs need some thinking but I suggest that the 'knobs and buttons' can possibly be mapped to different functions depending on.
