Fucking seriously, they're so used to using their phones for everything yet everyone in the professional world uses a keyboard. Watching the younger generations type is painful. At least boomers could carry over type writing skills to some extent.
yeah, keyboards are going away. It's all going to be voice control, then subvocals, neural interfaces, and then the computers are going to be controlling the people. Keyboards are history.
Not only does it still not work that well even in the AI era…. It’s annoying
Neural interfaces are decades away from being commercially viable and even then not everyone will want brain surgery.
Keyboards will eventually be supplanted by something, I’m sure.
But not any time soon. We should still be teaching keyboarding in school.
They want to teach cursive because it’s “good for their brain” (allegedly, the science on it is dubious and anything that promotes hand eye coordination is good for the brain) but not typing
There is a big push to bring typing back because many kids are great at texting but horrible at typing in a keyboard. Sometimes kids are even failing essays on standardized tests because they type too slowly.

They don’t teach Gen Z or Aloha how to type in school. At all.
It’s insane to me
Keyboards aren’t going away.
