I, for one, do want to go back to wind down windows, manual transmission, and dials on my stove top. A lot of modern technology is flashy but shit in practice. Touch screens in cars for example. It will always be better to have physical buttons you can memorize the locations of and navigate by feel.
I have knobs on my stove and you are right, its better
Oh god. New stoves don’t have knobs? Are they touchscreens now too? I will pretend I did not just read that information and be a ‘old man yells at cloud’ when the time comes to buy a new stove.
Our electric cooking plate is touch only, and our oven has touch buttons in combination with physical dials for temperature/timers.
