    They’re children. You can’t say if they’ll need a mouse or not. This is the math argument all over again: “I’m never gonna use __ ever”. That’s just bad logic. That you were/are a teacher and honestly presenting me with this level of argument is actually shocking.

    Some of those kids are going to need to be engineers or writers or programmers or teachers or editors or whatever other productive members of society and not just ipad consumers.

    Yes, systems will change. Yes, technology has so far enabled a lot of people to get by with only touch input. But even though a lot of stuff will change and the need for i/o like mouse and keyboard will shrink, unless we make some serious breakthroughs, there will still be a need.

    “Why need a mouse when you have no need” the ape refuses fire because it has not needed it so far.

      its the same logic I heard over “I don’t need a keyboard, I have a touch screen”. smh.

      just because something is different to what you are used to, doesn’t make it bad…


      now what is bad, is all these parents giving iPads and iPhones to kids under 13… fml, do they not realise how developmentally stunted it makes them.

      they become obsessed with the feedback and can’t differentiate between “not getting feedback” and happiness. it’s a epidemic, all because they don’t want to deal with their kids interacting with them… if they don’t want them, dont have them…
