Freehand Control of Computers

 ... is in progress.  It's a great idea, if you're doing it for a few seconds.  If you're using that as the primary interface, however, most people get tired and sore very quickly.  And if you keep doing it, then you wind up with repetitive stress injuries.  People have found this out by using touchscreens on their desk computers.  Seriously, folks, haptics matter.

That's a prevailing reason why I don't use many devices. Very often if something older breaks, I cannot replace it because the "new, improved" version does something that either renders it useless for my purposes, or is so irritating that I'd rather go without than put up with the fucking nuisance.
