For years I thought I had a faulty touchscreen and started relying on dictation more and more. Seeing this video saved me from going insane. They must have crunched the numbers and decided that these choices benefit more people than not. BUT HOW!

I keep talking to friends and family who aren't techies and use iPhone. They believe their typing has gotten worse or something like that.

Don Norman has written about this. Users are more likely to blame themselves than the tool.

It's a weird sort of almost gaslighting.

I suffer from chronic migraine and had begun to think my typing failures were early signs of severe cognitive decline…

Watching that makes me irrationally angry. I use the Google Keyboard myself and I find it's a lot better.
