I've got a message for all those media pundits and whiners complaining about the lack of "tactile feedback" in the iPhone and how physical keyboards are supposedly so superior for typing on mobile phones...
You uncoordinated fat-fingered pre-centennial throwbacks need to get with the times and realize just how shitty it is to type on your chicklet-size buttons that require precise amounts of pressure to register contact. Not to mention the prevalence of single buttons often hosting two or more characters only slowing the process even more. And T9? That crutch doesn't save you either.
So get back in your preserved Fiero with the pop up headlights and mudflaps. Drive home listening to Starship on your Blaupunkt tape deck until you get home to your comfy lazy-E-boy chair with the optional dual cup holders. Flip on that big screen Zenith 32" CRT and pour yourself a nice cool bowl of Count Chocula before settling into another night of Magnum P.I. re-runs. Don't bother spending a couple hours learning how easy it is to throw down text on an iPhone like a Sidekick-wielding Hollywood socialite. Forget about progress and the forward march of technology. Instead, focus on finding that Apple/AT&T receipt to exchange your iPhone tomorrow for a sweet new pager from Nextel.
Ahhh...isn't that better? They don't call ignorance bliss for nothing.
