I, for one, do want to go back to wind down windows, manual transmission, and dials on my stove top. A lot of modern technology is flashy but shit in practice. Touch screens in cars for example. It will always be better to have physical buttons you can memorize the locations of and navigate by feel.

I honestly want to smash my stupid fucking stove top with it's bullshit touch buttons that decide to activate when I happen to move a hot pan across them. I would smash it if I wasn't renting.

My dishwasher has that. Every time I stand at the counter, it turns on and off and starts by itself. I hate it.
