Have you seen the studies in mainstream media that a person driving a new car should not be using a touch screen as they drive? There are two important reasons they point to: It is safer for the driver not to use a touch screen as opposed to buttons. It is slower for the driver to use a touch screen opposed to buttons.
The mouse and the GUI brought with it a new way for people to learn to use computers. The mouse and GUI use millions of minutes of Technology Airtime which costs our Governments and Businesses billions of dollars every year.
The real learning moment to the importance of Technology Airtime came in 1989 when Patrick J. Fischer began working with persons who are blind. Keyboard shortcuts are the fastest way to use a computer as opposed to using a mouse.
The team at NO-MOUSE produced a study in 1989 and discovered the mouse was 4 to 5 times slower than using a keyboard shortcut.
Time is Money. The time it takes us to use technology is measured as Technology Airtime and reducing your Technology Airtime is proportional to making more money.
The Race is On, and to Win, You Must Reduce Technology Airtime.
