Those were something, weren’t they? I thought it was the coolest thing ever as a kid, just the absolute peak of technology.

And in hindsight… Yeah, it was a pretty comfortable way to play videos and music, wasn’t it? And the click wheel iPods even had a surprisingly decent selection of games.

While I’m here, whatever happened to those Kindle e-readers with the physical page turn buttons and keyboard? I kinda feel like they stopped selling those, but I feel like that was kind of preferable to a touch screen, too.

I guess just in general I don’t like touch screens and it’ll be a good day when they stop being integrated into things that don’t actually need them. I’m out here thinking that flip phones beat smartphones still

    Actually, one thing I will concede is that I do really like Dessalines’ Thumb-key. There is a certain level of satisfaction that comes from a physical keyboard, but flick input is also pretty satisfying in its own way… Alas, if only there were a way to have the best of both worlds, right?
