Overheard a guy in Best Buy say he missed the days when you could feel a button click, and it stuck with me
I was standing in the tablet aisle in Columbus last Saturday and this older fella next to me tapped a screen about 4 times before it did anything, then mumbled that he missed when things clicked so you knew it worked. I hadn't thought about it much before, but now I keep noticing how many flat screens give me zero feedback that my tap even landed, and it bugs me more each day. Does the click feel of a real button actually matter to you, or is it just nostalgia?

My buddy bought a new truck last year and the whole dash is one big screen. He has to look down and poke at it just to turn the heat up. Said he smacked a pothole one morning, missed the button, and ended up with the defroster blasting him in the face for ten miles. His old truck had a real knob you could grab without looking. He still gripes about it every time we ride together.
