Having used both, one big advantage of the keyboard is the
haptic interface - I can feel the keys and know what I'm
typing. Admittedly, I type at over 100 wpm accurately,
which may be unusual.
I have a similar problem with newer cars with "touchscreen
interfaces" for the radio, temp, etc. I don't want that.
To use them, I have to take my eye off the road (unsafe).
With an old manual radio, I can feel the knob or button, and
know what I'm hitting.
Touchscreens are good for casual input, or for space
constraints. For routine activity? Check out

I couldn't find his article on "Minority Report" style input
- bottom line, as I recall, is that the sweeping arm
movements and keeping the arm up to input becomes tiring
(and I'll agree).
