Paco Hope #resistI recently drove a car whose whole control and entertainment system was a gigantic iPad-like thing mounted to the dash. It caused me to have a realisation about the <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/Ui" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Ui</a> and <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/UX" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#UX</a> of touch screens.There is no way to touch a touchscreen without it treating that touch as intentional. What I mean is: without taking my eyes off the road, I can grope across the dashboard, find a knob or button—by touching it—without activating any function. Touching the volume button or temperature knob doesn’t DO anything until I do it with more force and intentionality. Not so for a <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/touchscreen" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#touchscreen</a>. My mobile <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/phone" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#phone</a> (an <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/iPhone" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#iPhone</a> 13) has no dead space in its face. There’s no part of the phone face I can touch without it assuming I meant to do that and I wanted to activate whatever was under my finger. Old iPhones that had physical home buttons also had dead space to either side: a safe space to hold the phone without DOING anything.Computer keyboard have little raised pips on the F and J keys so you can find them by touch without looking. I do this all the time. But I don’t type the letters F or J. Touch screens have no such affordances. I look at the <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/blackberry" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#blackberry</a> keyboard in this photo and I see a raised space bar. It’s an <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/affordance" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#affordance</a> that lets you orient your fingers, and orient how you hold the phone, without looking.I miss buttons. <a href="https://mobilesyrup.com/2025/02/15/blackberrys-expired-keyboard-patent/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://mobilesyrup.com/2025/02/15/blackberrys-expired-keyboard-patent/</a>

A nutritious ration, indeed. Spent 3 hours digesting it, but it was worth the while. Don't know if I can afford moral affordances, but we'll see. 😉 <a href="https://mastodontti.fi/tags/philosophy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#philosophy</a> <a href="https://mastodontti.fi/tags/ethics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ethics</a> <a href="https://mastodontti.fi/tags/affordance" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#affordance</a> <a href="https://mastodontti.fi/tags/fitting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#fitting</a> <a href="https://mastodontti.fi/tags/apt" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#apt</a> <a href="https://mastodontti.fi/tags/moral" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#moral</a> <a href="https://mastodontti.fi/tags/action" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#action</a> <a href="https://mastodontti.fi/tags/right" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#right</a> <a href="https://mastodontti.fi/tags/reason" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#reason</a> <a href="https://mastodontti.fi/tags/obligation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#obligation</a>
