In my day we had buttons.
We had switches! Sliders!
And what do we have now? Glass rounded rectangles of various sizes."We can make it do haptic feedback."
No just put me out of my misery. Send me to the farm upstate. Your haptic feedback is a mockery of the elegance of the latching switches and potentiometers I have known.
Robotics is hard. Mechanical engineering is hard. The glass rounded rectangles are magical, yes, and lovely, but they also prisons for the imagination.

@futurebird also web UI elements that are not just flat blocks of colour that give you no indication of what they do

I recently saw an android tablet OS and it looks so much like iOS it made me sad. Like everyone has given up. There is only one way and it's rounded rectangles all the way down.

@futurebird on the web there is a growing movement to bring back some fun, interest and a bit of skeuomorphism. but hardware controls are a thing that need to make a comeback. like i think no car should have touch screen controls, or touch should be disabled while the car is in motion

@mensrea The touchscreens in a car are optimised for showing the Blue Screen of Death.
