Don't apologize

You haven't broken anything. What is happening with multi-touch R&D is just amazing - especially for those of us who are in creative fields. And the posts of yours that I read seemed to dismiss it (and people like Jeff Han) as if the technology was just something on a bad episode of Star Trek.
I am certainly not saying multi touch is bad idea. I'm saying it's crap if used instead of a keyboard for typing (or writing, if you will), unlike Ibwi and company, who thinks this is the holy grail.
If your only point is that you want to type on a physical keyboard - and that has been the reason you have typed what seems to be thousands of words on this thread, then use a keyboard for the rest of your life. However, at some point a younger generation will feel comfortable typing without the analogue input.
Ah, yes, I'm aware that the younger generation think they can do anything, thank you. And apparently, for some, that means they can even touch type without physical input. Have you actually thought about why some people can type really, really fast? You do know that's because they don't have to look, but can feel their way, and feel when they have made a typo, right? But, no, "the youth knows much better, they'll overcome this". Since someone else brought musical instruments into this, imagine playing on a piano, with no physical keys, or playing a guitar or a violin, where the strings were laserbeams. Surely you must think those strings aren't necessary either. Physical input are important for so many things, and frankly, drawing the youth-card is something only a, well, very young person would come up with.
I mean, does everyone hate typing on an iPhone?
No, just like everyone doesn't hate writing sms's constantly, only using their thumbs. However, even the fastest thumbist cannot compete with an average touch typist for very long. Plus, are you sure you wan't to be the slowest around, and the one with crippled fingers before you're set for retirement? It's about ergonomics, not youth.
And if the answer if "yes" then the technology will continue to evolve and the all touch keyboard will eventually improve and become more intuitive.
It's not about intuition, it's about ergonomics.
