“You’re holding it wrong” – April 2022 edition

I hadn’t thought about that response given to the Media about the iPhone 4 until it was a quick reference joke on Archer (binge watching from the beginning). Then I stumbled upon this graphic somebody made. With all the futurism on SciFi shows, namely Star Trek which indirectly predicted the cell phone (hand-held communicator), removable media (those colored squares) and the tablet (those thick clipboards Kirk often signs); you never see anybody interact with a computer via mouse. Oddly, they still depend upon keyboards or trust voice recognition. On the latter, we’ve all dealt with contemporary phone trees and the various audio butlers (Alexa, Siri)…they’ve got a long way to go. I don’t even see the usage of the mouse’s successors, the touch pad, trackball (my preferred method) or the one method I can’t get my head around, a track pad with gestures.
